Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Egg Salad:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

For the Lettuce Wraps:

  • 8 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce work best)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Egg Salad

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool.
  2. Peel and Chop: Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces.
  3. Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Combine the Salad: Add the chopped eggs to the dressing and gently fold together until the eggs are fully coated with the creamy dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh chives or any herbs of your choice over the egg salad for an extra layer of flavor.

Assemble the Lettuce Wraps

  1. Prepare the Lettuce: Carefully wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Select the largest, most intact leaves for wrapping.
  2. Spoon the Egg Salad: Take a spoonful of the egg salad and place it in the center of each lettuce leaf. Be careful not to overfill, as the wraps might tear.
  3. Wrap and Serve: Gently fold the sides of the lettuce over the egg salad, then roll up the wrap like a burrito. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
