Step 1
Cut your hard-boiled eggs in half and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Chop the egg whites roughly and set them aside for now.
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, a pinch of salt, and some pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Use a fork to mash everything together until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 3
Now, mix in the chopped egg whites, ham, finely chopped shallot, and celery. Give it a good toss to combine all the flavors. If you prefer it a bit creamier, feel free to stir in a little more mayo until it’s just right.
Serving Style Ideas
Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce or inside a sandwich. It also pairs nicely with crackers or fresh bread. A side of fresh fruit can add a refreshing contrast.
Storage Suggestions
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within two days to maintain freshness. Stir gently before serving if the dressing separates.
