Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 cup radishes, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove pan from heat, cover, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 minutes to achieve perfect hard-boiled consistency.
- Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and prevent green rings around yolks.
- Peel eggs carefully under cool running water, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Chop hard-boiled eggs into small, uniform pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Wash radishes thoroughly and trim off root and stem ends. Dice radishes into small, even cubes.
- Add diced radishes to the bowl with chopped eggs.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
- Pour mayonnaise-mustard mixture over eggs and radishes. Gently fold ingredients together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing carefully to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or light lunch, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Egg Boiling Mastery: For the most perfect hard-boiled eggs, use eggs that are a few days old - they're easier to peel!
- Radish Prep Pro Tip: Choose firm, bright radishes and dice them uniformly for the best texture and presentation.
- Flavor Enhancement: Let the salad chill for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Customization Hack: Add fresh herbs like chives or dill for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This salad can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or potlucks.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve on a bed of mixed greens, as a sandwich filling, or alongside grilled proteins for a complete meal.
