Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Eggs: Gently halve the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Roughly chop the egg whites and set them aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Create the Base: To the bowl containing the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Using a fork or a small whisk, mash and combine the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Combine and Chill: Add the chopped egg whites, cubed ham, minced shallot, and diced celery to the bowl with the yolk mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined. For a richer, creamier salad, add an extra tablespoon or two of mayonnaise. (2 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad is best served chilled. (30 minutes)

For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for a burst of freshness.
Serve this salad on croissants, lettuce cups, or with crackers. You can also enjoy it as a filling for deviled eggs or as a topping for avocado toast.
