Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs Egg whites
- 3 tablespoons Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 stalk (finely diced) Celery
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, making sure they are fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 8-10 minutes.
Once cooked, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes to make peeling easier.
Carefully peel the eggs and remove the yolks, leaving only the whites. Discard (or reserve for another use) the yolks.
Roughly chop the egg whites into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the egg whites.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Gently mix everything together until fully combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika before serving.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy as a sandwich filling, dip, or salad topping!
