Loaded Egg Salad Pitas

Ready for a spring picnic but not sure what to pack in your picnic basket? Loaded Egg Salad Pitas make a delicious lunch or picnic, and they’re a great way to use up leftover hard boiled eggs.

In addition to hard boiled eggs, I added a few extra ingredients. My grandma used to make tuna salad and chicken egg salad with a host of fresh ingredients, from apples to pickles and pecans.

She had 2 long rows of pecan trees in her front yard, so she always had pecans sitting around in a pan waiting to be cracked or bags full of pecans already stored away in the freezer. I miss those pecan trees.

That’s kinda where my cravings led me with this egg salad, back to the good ole days.

Below you’ll find a printable recipe. Serve this egg salad up with a flat bread or sandwiched in a pita, and you’re all set. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. I hope you enjoy!
