1cupfinely diced celery
⅓cupfinely chopped green onion

Instructions
Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let sit in water for 10-12 minutes. See notes 1 and 2.
Prepare a large bowl with ice water. After 10-12 minutes, transfer eggs to ice bath. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then peel.
Roughly chop the eggs, then place in a large mixing bowl. Tip: If you have a pastry cutter, place the eggs in the large bowl and use the pastry cutter to chop the eggs right in the bowl!
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika and hot sauce until smooth.
Add the celery and green onions to the large bowl with the eggs and toss in the mayo mixture until well coated. Chill for 1 hour before serving (optional, but recommended).
Serve with more sliced green onion and paprika sprinkled on top. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days.
Notes
12 minutes will result in the hardest hard boiled eggs while 9-10 minutes will produce a slightly softer yolk. This is up to your preference.
You can also use an electric pressure cooker to cook the eggs. See the post above for instructions.
