- Add curry powder to the mayo, maybe some cayenne, and some crunchy things like cucumber, scallions, pickled red onion, arugula.
- Add chopped olives and feta cheese
- Use capers and celery (chopped very small) along with the mayo and mustard
- Skip the mustard and dill, add sweet pickle relish to taste.
- Use mayo, yellow mustard, and sweet relish. The real magic happens in the process, which is to mix the mustard and mayo with the yolks similar to making deviled eggs. So basically, the egg salad becomes deviled eggs mixed in a bowl with sweet pickle relish.
