Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Celery (finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the eggs to cook for 9-10 minutes.
Once cooked, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Peel the cooled eggs, then chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Gently fold in the chopped eggs, celery, parsley, chives, and dill until evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately on whole-grain bread, crackers, or over a bed of greens. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
