For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce. If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the ranch dressing with plain Greek yogurt. Make sure your eggs are properly cooled after boiling to prevent the egg salad from becoming watery. This egg salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
