For a creamier texture, try adding a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work, but the smoked version adds a wonderful depth of flavor. Experiment with other additions like chopped fresh dill, chives, or a dash of hot sauce. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps.

Add the diced celery and sliced green onion to the bowl with the mashed eggs. (2 minutes)

3 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and horseradish until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)
04
Step

Pour the mustard-mayonnaise mixture over the egg mixture. Gently fold to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
05
Step

Stir in the smoked paprika. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that horseradish already has some salt, so taste before adding more. (2 minutes)
06
Step
