For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Hard-cooked eggs are easier to peel if they are cooled completely after cooking. This egg salad is delicious served on toasted whole-wheat bread, lettuce wraps, or with crackers. Leftover egg yolks can be used to make a delicious hollandaise sauce.
