Cool the hard-boiled eggs completely before mixing them with the mayonnaise.
Avoid overmixing the egg salad if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Add finely chopped celery or red onion for extra crunch.
For an extra-creamy filling, mash one of the egg yolks into the mayonnaise before combining everything.
