Deviled Egg Salad Spread

From the kitchen of Carly

Creamy, tangy egg salad with bright Dijon mustard and fresh lemon, studded with tender egg pieces. Pile it on dark rye or pumpernickel for the perfect contrast. Sharp, satisfying, and ready in minutes. Makes excellent use of those hard-boiled eggs sitting in your fridge.
