Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cups Celery (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to an ice water bath. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
Once the eggs are peeled, chop them into small pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
To the bowl with the chopped eggs, add the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika before serving, if desired.
