Ways To Serve and Enjoy The Best Egg Salad Recipe

Want to serve this egg salad in a fancy way to feel extra special?

I got you! There are tons of ways to dress up this colorful mix of salad. Here are some easy ideas you can use to transform your salad into a stunning dish:

Serve On A Toast

Want to make this egg salad as breakfast-appropriate?

Nothing screams ‘Good Morning’ like eggs on toast! Instead of serving plain eggs with your breakfast. Spread this egg salad over a slice of toasted bread or crispy bagel(my favorite!) to have this delicious egg salad sandwich. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or chai, and you will have the perfect breakfast combo to kickstart your day!

Wrap In Tortilla or Lettuce Leaves

Running late for the office?

No problem! If you are in a rush, simply wrap the egg salad in a tortilla or lettuce leaves, and you are all set for a tasty, on-the-go meal that’s ready to eat! Make sure to use fresh tortillas or lettuce leaves to prevent tearing while wrapping.

Add Crunchy Toppings

Do you feel like adding some crunch to the salad would make it even better?

You are talking in my language, then! Grab a handful of crunchy ingredients like toasted nuts, sunflower seeds, or crispy chickpeas and add them to the top of the egg salad. I recommend adding the crunchy elements right before serving to maintain their crispiness.

Use It As A Dip

Wondering what to use as a dip for your favorite snack?

Whether it’s carrot sticks, cucumber slices, pita chips, or crackers, dip them in the egg salad to enjoy a quick snack or appetizer at home!

If you plan to use the egg salad as a dip, I recommend thinning out its consistency a little by adding an extra dash of olive oil or a dollop of Greek yogurt. You can serve the egg salad in a shallow bowl to make it easier to dip and sprinkle fresh herbs or paprika for decoration. Keeping the salad in the refrigerator before serving will give you the best experience in terms of texture and flavor.
