  • While eggs are boiling, prepare a large bowl with ice water. Once done transfer the eggs into the ice water and chill for 2 minutes. Remove, peel, and coarsly chop the eggs. Set aside

Making The Dressing

  • In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and lemon zest and whisk until well combined.
