Good ranch recipe, and it was good in the egg salad. I would have preferred bread to the wraps and celery to the cucumbers, but otherwise pretty solid meal. We doubled the sauce and 1.5x the egg salad to make sure we had enough.
Could have used some Tomatoes or even bell pepper, but ranch sauce was delicious.
Great egg salad recipe! Doubled the eggs. Added capers. Added zucchini to carrots to dip and pickles on the side to bulk. Dressing was great, though a little runny since I only used coconut yogurt instead of any mayo. I added some of my vegan ranch to it to make it creamier and used diced celery instead of chives. Delicious!
I was not a fan of these. The texture was too mushy overall and it was more like 3 small servings than 4 regular servings. I ended up adding a can of tuna and some miracle whip to finish it off. The homemade ranch was delicious though a little watery for my taste. I'll just make a tzatziki sauce next time.
I liked this. It was super quick to make, didn't require too many dishes, and it was tasty.
Appreciated the quick and easy recipe but it didn’t blow me away and didn’t quite fill me up. I will be keeping the ranch recipe though!
