For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise. If you don't have dill pickles, you can use sweet pickles instead, but the flavor will be different. Make sure the eggs are completely cooled before chopping to prevent them from sticking together. To make this salad lighter, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours, as the cucumbers can release moisture over time.
