Notes

Additions and Substitutions
You could use fresh chopped onion for this egg salad, instead of the onion powder. 1 tablespoon of finely chopped sweet yellow onion, red onion, or sliced green onions would be great substitutes.
You can try different types of mustard to give this egg salad a different flavor profile. Use stone ground mustard, whole grain mustard, or Dijon instead of regular yellow mustard.
Add extra vegetables for more flavor - a tablespoon of capers, chopped roasted red pepper, or sliced olives would all be great add-ins.
