Egg Salad Lettuce Cups
Egg Salad Lettuce Cups are a delicious and gluten-free way to enjoy egg salad. Eggs are considered a high-quality protein because they contain a complete range of amino acids, which are essential building blocks in our bodies. Eggs also contain all energy-producing B vitamins. For this recipe, I ditched bread and used Romaine lettuce cups for a crunchy gluten-free alternative.

For this recipe, I used romaine lettuce leaves but you could use collard greens or nori! I share lots of yummy sandwich and soup recipes in my cookbook.
