Notes

My Top Tip: Avoid over-stirring your egg salad to prevent it from turning to mush and looking like baby food. When you add the chopped eggs to the dressing, fold just enough to coat all the ingredients while still keeping the boiled egg salad chunky.
Storage: Store your egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Because of the Greek yogurt, make sure the egg salad doesn't sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
