- 1/4 cup chopped green onion

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.
- Peel and Dice the Eggs: Drain the hot water, cool the eggs under cold running water, and peel off the shells. Dice the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and set them aside.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped green onions, diced eggs, prepared yellow mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Season to Taste: Season the egg salad with salt and pepper to your preferred taste. The amounts may vary depending on your preference, so start with a pinch of each and adjust accordingly.
- Add Paprika: Sprinkle paprika over the egg salad mixture. The paprika not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor profile.

TIPS:
- To make peeling hard-boiled eggs easier, add a teaspoon of vinegar or baking soda to the boiling water, or use older eggs as they tend to peel more easily.
- Customize your sandwich by adding crispy bacon bits, chopped pickles, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor and texture.
- Choose your bread wisely; options like soft rolls, baguette slices, or even a classic white bread work well with this salad.
- To make it a low-carb option, serve the deviled egg salad in lettuce wraps or on a bed of mixed greens.
