In a large bowl, gently toss together the chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped dill pickles, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, chives, dill, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight. Garnish with additional chopped chives just before serving.
Notes
Makes approximately 8-10 side dish servings.Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note: lightly drain the pickles of their juices before chopping and adding to the bowl. If there is too much pickle juice from the pickles, the egg salad will turn out too watery.
