Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach or lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water by about an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes.
Drain the water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down quickly.
Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir well to blend the ingredients together.
Add the chopped celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the chopped eggs into the mixture, ensuring the eggs are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the egg salad over a bed of baby spinach or lettuce leaves for a high-protein, nutritious meal.
