Description

Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps offer a light and healthy twist on the classic egg salad sandwich by using crisp lettuce leaves as wraps. This low-carb, protein-packed meal is refreshing, easy to make, and perfect for a quick lunch or snack.


Ingredients

6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions, chopped
1 celery stalk, finely diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Romaine or butter lettuce leaves (large and sturdy enough for wrapping)
Optional: paprika or dill for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, and diced celery.
  2. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh dill if desired.
  7. Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a wrap.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes
