Stir in 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder into the mashed yolk mixture. Mix well to ensure all the savory seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.
04 -
Add the finely chopped egg whites, 1/2 cup finely diced celery, 1/4 cup finely minced red onion, and 2 tbsp fresh dill to the yolk mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
