Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Instructions
Creating Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps is simple and straightforward:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for about 10-12 minutes.
2. Cool the Eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool for a few minutes.
3. Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and rinse under cold water to remove any shell fragments. Pat dry with a paper towel.
4. Mash the Eggs: In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the eggs until desired consistency (smooth or chunky, as preferred).
5. Mix the Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, and green onion to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
6. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: Carefully separate lettuce leaves from the head, trying to keep them whole for wrapping.
7. Assemble the Wraps: Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad onto each lettuce leaf, wrapping it like a taco.
8. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes for enhanced flavors.
