Instructions
Creating Low Carb Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps is simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
2. Cool the Eggs: After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for a few minutes to cool. This also makes peeling easier.
3. Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
4. Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill or parsley, celery, and red onion. Mix well until combined.
5. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
6. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: Gently separate the lettuce leaves, ensuring they remain intact for wrapping.
7. Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the egg salad mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf and gently fold or wrap it up.
8. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate the egg salad mixture for a quick meal later.
