Notes

  • Make Ahead: Egg salad can be made up to 2 days in advance—store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Serving Ideas: Great on toast, croissants, crackers, or in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
  • Add-Ins: Try capers, arugula, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Lighter Option: Substitute half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
