Notes
For the best texture, don't overcook the eggs — pull them off the heat the moment the water boils. Chop rather than mash for distinct bites, and let the mixed salad rest in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving so the flavors meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; this recipe doesn't freeze well due to the mayonnaise base.
