Cooking Tips:
- To make perfect hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. Then, drain the water and run the eggs under cold water to cool them down before peeling.
- For a creamier egg salad, use more mayonnaise. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more Dijon mustard.

1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Add the chopped celery and red onion to the bowl and stir until everything is evenly combined.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Serve the egg salad on a bed of lettuce or as a sandwich filling.
