I grate my eggs which provides the finished product with a soft texture and less "smashed mush". Instead of mayo, I used plain greek yogurt which provides a nice tang. For herbs, I tend to use Italian parsley but there are any number of fresh herbs that can be added for freshness. For spices, there are tons of options, I like sweet & hot paprika or Aleppo pepper & Sumac, Za'ater is is nice. Finishing with a toping of Everything Bagel Seasoning is a nice touch.
When using this to make lunch, I use a tortilla to make a wrap which I stuff full of arugula and veggies like avocado, tomato & cucumber.
