- Chop Egg Loaf: Remove egg loaf from Instant Pot & set aside on a chopping board to cool. Once cool to touch, finely chop the egg loaf. Allow the chopped eggs to cool to room temperature.
- Make Salad Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, add Ā½ cup (125g) mayonnaise, finely diced ingredients (pickle, green onions, and celery), Ā½ tsp ground cumin, Ā½ tbsp (7.5g) dijon mustard, Ā½ tbsp (7.5ml) unseasoned rice vinegar, and finely chopped hard-boiled eggs.

- Adjust Seasoning & Chill in Fridge: Taste the salad and season with more kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste.
