Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-7 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Add the chopped eggs, green onion, celery, salt, and ground black pepper to the dressing. Gently fold the mixture together until the eggs are evenly coated.
Divide the mixed salad greens evenly among four plates or bowls.
Spoon the curried egg salad over the greens.
Optional: Serve with a lemon wedge on the side for added brightness, if desired.
