Notes and Tips:

1. Hard-Boiled Eggs: For the best results, ensure your hard-boiled eggs are properly cooked. You can cook them by boiling for about 10-12 minutes, then cooling them in ice water before chopping.
2. Customize Your Egg Salad: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to the egg salad, such as diced pickles, onions, chives, or fresh herbs like dill or parsley. These additions can add extra flavor and texture.
3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the egg salad mixture before assembling the wraps and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can add more mustard, mayonnaise, salt, or pepper to suit your taste preferences.
4. Fresh Lettuce Leaves: Use large and sturdy lettuce leaves, such as iceberg or Romaine, to make wrapping easier and to provide a nice crunch. Wash and pat them dry before assembling the wraps.
5. Prevent Sogginess: To prevent the lettuce leaves from becoming soggy, you can line them with a small piece of parchment paper or wax paper before adding the egg salad. This helps keep the moisture from the salad away from the lettuce.
6. Make-Ahead: If you want to save time, you can prepare the egg salad filling in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
7. Serving Options: These wraps are great as a light lunch or snack. You can also serve them as appetizers or party finger food by making smaller portions.
8. Low-Carb Variations: If you're following a strict keto diet, you can further reduce the net carbs by using a sugar-free mustard and mayonnaise.
9. Add Some Heat: If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg salad for a kick.
10. Pair with Sides: Serve these wraps with additional low-carb sides like sliced avocado, cucumber, or a small side salad to make a more substantial meal.
11. Nut Allergies: If you have nut allergies, be sure to check the ingredients in your mayonnaise, as some brands use nut-based oils. Opt for a nut-free mayonnaise if needed.
12. Portion Control: Keep in mind that the nutritional values provided are approximate for one serving. Adjust quantities as needed based on your dietary requirements.
