Recipe Variations

• Please don’t use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise for the egg salad recipe because it will make it runny and no one wants that!
• Instead of mayonnaise you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream.
• You can use fresh or freeze-dried chives in this recipe. In a pinch you can use green onion.
• Instead of Romaine lettuce you can use butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce.
• While you don’t have to use croissants for the sandwiches, I really like how they dress the sandwiches up. Other options are whole wheat bread of your choice, large tortillas for wraps, and pita pockets.

Storage Tips

SERVE: As with most recipes with dairy products in them, you shouldn’t leave this egg salad out for longer than 2 hours.

STORE: This salad by itself will stay fresh in an airtight container stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.

FREEZE: Eggs and mayonnaise do not freeze well, so I do not recommend freezing this recipe. The freezing temperature affects their consistency, leaving you with a watery mess when you defrost it.
