How to use this list

Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t use eggs that are too fresh—they can be difficult to peel cleanly. Avoid skipping the vinegar or relish, as they add tang and flavor. Don’t use regular yellow mustard in place of Dijon; the taste is noticeably different. Be careful not to overseason with salt or paprika, which can overpower the filling. Skip any fancy toppings; stick to chives and paprika for a traditional finish.
