Additional recipe notes
Pro Tips: 1 teaspoon dried dill can be used instead of fresh if needed. Diced green onions can be used instead of yellow onions as well. Mix the egg yolks with the vinegar while they're still warm. The vinegar helps to prevent discoloration and enhances the flavor. Add the mayo when the yolks have cooled to avoid an oily consistency. I use Hellmann’s Mayonnaise for this recipe. Mashed or finely diced avocado makes a great addition to the egg yolk filling as well. If serving with sandwiches: Lettuce and/or arugula makes a great addition as well as crispy bacon. You can also serve these in lettuce wraps for a low carb option. Storage: Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days .

Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
