Description

A lighter, healthier twist on classic egg salad made with Greek yogurt and a touch of mayo for creaminess. Packed with protein and fresh herbs, perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or lettuce cups.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10–12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool. Peel and chop the eggs.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Gently fold in chopped eggs, chives, and dill until combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve chilled on whole grain bread, in wraps, or with lettuce cups.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add diced celery or pickles.
  • Use all Greek yogurt to make it even lighter.
  • Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
