Dry mustard powder: Mustard powder is made by grinding yellow mustard seeds. It is an aromatic, sharply flavored seed belonging to the cabbage family. It's spicy flavor is reminiscent of horseradish or wasabi.
Paprika: Paprika is a mildly flavored spice that adds a depth of flavor. It is prized for its brilliant red color. Unlike smoked paprika, it is a little sweeter.

FAQs About Deviled Egg Salad
Can I use regular mustard instead of dried?
I don’t recommend it for this recipe. You would need a large amount of regular mustard and it will make the salad too watery.
What do I serve with deviled egg salad?
The best way to enjoy this salad is on some delicious bread. However, if you are following Paleo or Whole30, you can swap bread for butter lettuce or crackers. Simple Mills almond crackers are a great option.
Can I freeze egg salad?
It is best to consume this deviled egg salad fresh but it can be frozen! It will only last a month or so in the freezer for optimal freshness. I have never tried this as it barely lasts 2-3 days in our house!
