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.

Got leftovers? Maybe you have a few leftover hard boiled eggs from Easter sitting in your fridge. Use them to make Loaded Egg Salad Pitas, a delicious picnic food… pure perfection in the lunch box. Grab the recipe for Loaded Egg Salad!

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!

  1. Totally my kind of egg salad, loaded with stuff! I don’t boil to get hard boiled eggs anymore. I bake them in a muffin tin at 350 for around 30 minutes, then plunge them in ice water. Perfect as long as you get the timing right and easy peasy :)
