Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

4 hard-boiled eggs, diced

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 celery stalk, finely chopped

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

    Add the diced hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking the eggs too much.
