This classic egg salad is all about balance—rich and creamy, yet brightened with just the right touch of tang and freshness. A gentle carryover-cooking method delivers tender egg whites and perfectly yellow yolks, with no rubbery texture or gray-green rings. Dijon mustard and lemon juice lighten the mayonnaise, while fresh herbs add color and a refined, flavorful finish.
