Steps:
- First for the pickled onions, dice half a red onion into small pieces. In a small jar, combine the onions with a pinch of salt, and enough white wine vinegar to cover the onions. Let sit while you prep, or for a few hours in the fridge.
- Next, chop your herbs into small pieces, and then chop up the hard-boiled eggs as well.
- In a bowl, combine the diced eggs, herbs, 2 tbsp of pickled onions (drain against the side of the jar while scooping out), a bit of salt & pepper, mayo, & Dijon mustard.
- To assemble a sandwich, layer a piece of butter lettuce over a piece of bread, and add a portion of the egg salad on top, then add the other piece of bread on top, slice, and enjoy!

THE BEST EGG SALAD
While we love a jazzed up version of egg salad, we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

Steps:
- Cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Peel and roughly chop the eggs, add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh. Older eggs will have a more bland flavor.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of your egg salad.
- Add some chopped celery and onion for crunch and flavor.
- If you like a tangy egg salad, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of vinegar.
- For a creamy egg salad, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Season your egg salad to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve your egg salad on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich.
