- Prepare the Base: In a small bowl, blend cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This creamy mixture forms the heart of your salad.
- Chop and Combine: Dice the eggs and finely chop the dill pickles and green onions. Add these ingredients into a medium bowl with the cottage cheese mixture. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
- Season and Serve: Taste the mixture and adjust salt and pepper as needed. For a smoother consistency, chill the salad in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the egg salad. It creates a smooth consistency similar to mayonnaise but with more protein. To get perfect hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of cold water, bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and let sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath for easy peeling. Adjust the pickle juice to your preference for tanginess. Add a little more if you love that briny flavor!
