How to make Egg Salad Lettuce Wrap

Tips from the cook

  • Cool the boiled eggs completely before chopping and mixing, so the mayonnaise does not turn runny.
  • Pat the lettuce leaves dry, so the wrap does not go soggy.
  • Use the baking paper to roll the wrap tightly, then cut it in half with a sharp knife.
  • No bacon? Leave it out and add an extra pickle for crunch.
  • Keep the egg salad in a covered container for up to 2 days, and assemble the wraps just before eating.
