For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute a tablespoon of mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. This egg salad is best served cold. Ensure all ingredients are chilled before mixing for optimal freshness. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. For a vegetarian variation, consider adding some fresh herbs such as dill or chives.
