Egg salad a twist on the classic

Homemade egg salad spread with mayonnaise, mustard, red onion sprinkled with chives, top view background on white table.

This egg salad has a wee twist on the classic with the addition of the capsicum which really takes this salad to a whole new level. I  recommend making this ahead and refrigerating in an air-tight container for a couple of hours to let the flavours mingle.
