This was such a refreshing salad. Really love the tanginess that the Greek yogurt brings.
The Greek yogurt adds a really great flavor to the egg salad! Love this salad so much!
I didn’t have pickles, added diced pickled jalopenos instead. Banging.
I’ve never had pickle in an egg salad before – but it sounds good!
