2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely diced celery
2 tablespoons finely diced radish
3 tablespoons mayonnaise*
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
salt and pepper to taste
Place eggs in the bottom of a stainless steel pot, add enough water to come one inch above the eggs.
Bring to a boil, shut off the heat, pop on the lid and set your timer for 10 minutes.

Slice four of the eggs in half, pop out the yolks (you can save them for another time) then chop.
