Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped red onion, celery, yogurt or mayonnaise, fresh dill, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly to create the creamy dressing.
  2. Gently fold in the hard-boiled egg pieces, being careful not to mash them completely. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Use fresh dill for the brightest flavor and chill for 30 minutes to allow the seasonings to meld.
