After making my Crunchy Dill Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps and my Dill Chicken And Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps, all I could think about was making Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps too!
To make egg salad, I needed to use mayonnaise, but it’s next to impossible to find Whole30 compliant mayo at the grocery store. Thankfully, I now know how to make a superb, light, fluffy, and creamy homemade mayonnaise from scratch at home — and using this homemade mayo makes a HUGE difference in the flavor of this egg salad.
Homemade mayo is amazing and so much better than store-bought mayo!
Making Crunchy Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps
I’ve been making deviled egg sandwiches as long as I can remember. On fresh bread, they’re fantastic. But on The Whole30 you can’t eat bread or any grains at all, so I needed a new option: lettuce wraps!
I first hard boiled a large batch of eggs so we could have them on hand for salads, once the eggs were done chilling in an ice bath, I stuck them in the refrigerator for a few hours because warm egg salad is gross!
To make the Crunchy Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps, I diced the celery, toasted the almond slices, and chopped up the hard boiled eggs. I then combined all ingredients: egg, celery, black olives, toasted almonds, homemade mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mixed everything together really well.
I pulled Romaine leaves off a head of Romaine to make the lettuce wraps and served up lunch as Crunchy Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps. Yum!
