2. Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel under running water to assist with shell removal.
3. Prepare the Base: Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Combine Components: Add the diced celery, red onion, fresh dill, and any optional ingredients like crispy bacon or pickles to the eggs.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
8. Chill: For the best flavor, let the crispy egg salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
9. Serve: Serve the salad on a bed of fresh greens or enjoy it as a sandwich filling.
