Notes
- Servings: The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 sandwich (¼ of the egg salad recipe). Actual calories will vary.
- Capers/Substitutes: Capers add a briny, salty flavor that balances the creaminess. If you do not want to use capers, try chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, or relish.
- How to Serve: Serve it on on croissants, sandwich bread, buns, crackers, or even in wraps or lettuce cups.
- Chill: Chill the egg salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
- Salt/Pepper: We use very little salt and pepper due to the saltiness of the capers. Adjust this to your taste. If desired, wait until everything is mixed before adding the salt and pepper.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if needed.
