Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your egg salad turns out perfectly every time:

• For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of pickle juice or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
• Experiment with different herbs like dill or chives for an extra flavor boost.
• If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding diced celery or red onion for a crunchy twist.

• Store any leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For meal prep, you can make the egg salad a day in advance and keep it fresh until you’re ready to serve.
• To keep the bread from getting soggy, store the egg salad separately and assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
