A lighter, protein-packed egg salad with Greek yogurt and fresh herbs, perfect for a nutritious sandwich or salad topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp light mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the hard-boiled eggs coarsely and place in a medium bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Add the dressing to the eggs along with celery, red onion, and fresh herbs.
  4. Gently fold ingredients until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled over greens, in sandwiches, or with whole-grain crackers.
  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt reduces fat while keeping the salad creamy and high in protein.
  • Add a pinch of paprika or chopped chives for extra flavor.
  • Substitute light mayo with all yogurt for even lighter version.
  • Use avocado instead of mayo for a dairy-free healthy fat option.
  • For meal prep, portion into containers with lettuce wraps or whole-grain bread.
