For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of Worcestershire sauce. If you prefer a chunkier egg salad, coarsely chop the eggs instead of grating them. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your liking. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. Fresh dill or chives make a lovely garnish and add a fresh herbaceous note.
