For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg salad. If you prefer a sweeter egg salad, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. To prevent the egg salad from becoming watery, be sure to drain the chopped eggs well before adding them to the dressing. For a more refined presentation, use a piping bag to pipe the egg salad onto crackers or lettuce cups.
