  4. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, celery seed, granulated sugar, dried parsley, and dried dill weed. Mix well.
  5. Fold in dill relish, sweet relish, minced fresh dill, and minced fresh parsley into the yolk mixture.
  6. Chop the egg whites and gently fold them into the yolk mixture.
  7. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Spread the egg salad filling between two slices of soft white sandwich bread. Optionally add lettuce or sliced tomatoes.
