Description

  • Healthy Egg Salad with Greek yogurt—creamy, high-protein, and perfect for clean eating. Quick, light, and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, grated or finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley or dill (for garnish)
  • Lettuce leaves, sandwich bread, or crackers (for serving)


Instructions

  • To cook the eggs, place them in a saucepan and cover with water by at least one inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, allow to boil for 30 seconds, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice water bath or run them under cold water to stop cooking and cool.
  • Once cool, peel the eggs by gently cracking the shell and peeling from the wider end.
  • Finely chop or grate the peeled eggs and place them in a large bowl.
  • Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chives, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.
  • Serve chilled with lettuce leaves, on bread, or with crackers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
