- Add in the chopped green onions and lemon juice, mixing well until everything is fully incorporated.
- To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of the egg salad onto a slice of bread, topping it with another slice. If you’re using lettuce, place it between the egg salad and the top layer of bread.
- Cut the sandwich in half, and enjoy your delightful egg salad creation!
