How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs
To make the perfect hard boiled eggs:
- Bring water to boil in a stovetop pot.
- Gently lower the eggs into the pot with a spoon. Be sure you only cook enough eggs to lay on the bottom of the pot – do not pile the eggs on top of each other.
- Boil eggs for 8 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Cover pot and let eggs sit for 8 minutes.
- Remove eggs from hot water and add to a bowl of cold ice water. Cool in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Putting Together the Egg Salad
Gently tap each hard boiled egg on the countertop to crack the shell. Gently peel the shell away and dice each egg into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced eggs, green onions, yellow onions, fresh dill, pickles, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, turmeric, paprika, and salt & pepper. Mix well.
You can enjoy your egg salad right away, or chill in the refrigerator to let the flavors fully combine.
