Notes
Variations: Swap dill for chives or parsley, add hot sauce or cayenne pepper for heat, or use avocado instead of mayonnaise for healthy fats.
For extra crunch, add chopped pickles or radishes.
Store leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; serve cold on fresh lettuce.
Use Romaine or Butter lettuce for sturdy leaves that hold the filling well.
Can prepare egg salad a day ahead; add lettuce just before serving to keep crisp.
