  • 1/4 cup chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Chili flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Boil the eggs for 10 to 12 minutes until fully hard-boiled. Allow them to cool slightly before peeling.

  5. Mix Thoroughly: Gently mix all ingredients until well combined, ensuring the cottage cheese and mustard are evenly distributed.
  6. Chill (Optional): For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for a short while to let the ingredients meld together.
