Helpful Tips

• For an extra twist, add finely diced celery for additional crunch.
• If you’re out of fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted. Just use about half the amount.
• These lettuce wraps can be prepared ahead of time. Store the egg salad and lettuce leaves separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and assemble just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
