- Make the Salad:
Cut the eggs in half, remove the yolks, and place them in a medium bowl. In the same bowl, add mayonnaise, all the mustard relishes, salt, and pepper. Mash the yolks into the mixture and stir until fully combined. - Coarsely chop the egg whites and add them to a large bowl along with cooked potatoes, diced celery, red onion, and green onions. Add the yolk dressing and mix until incorporated.
- Sprinkle with paprika on top, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
- Garnish with halved hard-boiled eggs and fresh diced dill before serving.
