- Put the eggs in boiling water.Put the eggs into a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Boil the noodles and after that, let the liquid come to a simmer for 9–12 minutes. Cook the veggies until done, then leave them in an ice bath for a while to make peeling faster.

- Combine the ingredients and mix them thoroughly.Into a mixing bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onion (if added) and either dill or parsley, along with salt and pepper.
- Eggs go perfectly well with them.Put the chopped eggs in the bowl and stir gently to mix them with the other ingredients.
- Taste, adjust to suit your taste and repeat the process until you get it just right.As desired, add another spoonful of mustard, mayo or herbs to make the sandwich more potent in that flavor.
- Chill (Optional):Refrigerate the salad for 5 to 10 minutes so its taste improves and it has more texture.
- Serve:Have it on bread that has been toasted, wrap it in lettuce leaves, spread it over crackers or use it as a green salad topping.
Notes
If eggs are two or three days old, they will usually peel more easily after being boiled.
A small amount of vinegar in the water will help cracking from happening.
Peel your eggs after they are cooled to get a smoother peel.
Use a spoon to mash the yolks one by one to improve the creaminess of the mixture.
You can make the dish different by adding pickles, capers or hot sauce.
