🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🍽️ Serves: 4 wraps
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 large leaves of romaine lettuce (or butter lettuce for a more delicate wrap)
- 1 medium tomato, diced
🥄 Instructions
1. Prepare the Egg Salad
- Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small chunks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives, parsley (if using), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped bacon and diced tomato. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
2. Prepare the Lettuce Wraps
- Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Choose the larger leaves to act as your wrap base.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
- Gently fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and roll it up like a wrap.
4. Serve
- Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes if you want them extra cool. You can also serve with a side of pickles or a light salad.
✅ Tips for Success:
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor.
- Customize the dressing: For a lighter version, swap out the mayo for plain Greek yogurt, or use avocado for a creamy, healthy alternative.
- Add more veggies: Sliced cucumber, avocado, or red onion would also work beautifully in these wraps.
