Egg Salad with Bacon: We will replace the salt amount with two tablespoons of chopped bacon.

Mediterranean Egg Salad: To give a Mediterranean flavor, mix two tablespoons of minced capers, an anchovy fillet, and one small size of chopped garlic in an egg mixture.

Pickles: Add chopped pickles or their juice to the egg salad. It gives a spicy, sweet, and tangy taste.

You may also use egg salad as a filling in different dishes. Add the remaining salad in lettuce warps, and fill tomatoes, or bell peppers with egg salad mixture.

Tips

We used 2-3 day-old eggs instead of fresh store-bought eggs because fresh eggs are difficult to peel.
You may also add baking soda to the water before boiling eggs. This method is effective only when using fresh eggs.
Add only low-fat yogurt, or mayonnaise to maintain the points.
Use fresh herbs to make this salad instead of old herbs.
