Preparation

In a bowl, mix all dip ingredients. Refrigerate.

Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water and cook for 11–12 minutes in boiling water.

In the meantime, in containers with compartments, place the celery, lettuce, tomatoes, beets, Mozzarella, pita wedges and dip.

Shell the hard-boiled eggs, rinse under cold water and add a whole or halved egg to each container.

Refrigerate until ready to eat.
