Notes

  • Low-carb option: Instead of using white bread, substitute for lettuce or a low carb wrap.
  • Choose the right eggs: Opt for fresh eggs for the best flavor! If you can get them, local farm eggs make the best egg salad.
  • Add a crunch: Add a crunch to your egg salad from finely diced celery, chopped red onions, green onion, or dill pickle relish, to taste.
  • Season as you like: You can add a bit of extra seasoning or fresh herbs as you prefer, though I find it isn't necessary with the mixture of Dijon and mayo.
  • Toast the bread: Lightly toast your white bread before assembling the sandwich, if you like your bread toasted.
  • Chill before serving: Allow your assembled sandwich to chill in the fridge for a short amount of time before serving, if you'd prefer it cold!
