Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons dill pickles, diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, yellow mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped eggs, dill pickles, red onion, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or mustard to suit your preference.
Cover and refrigerate the egg salad for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a spread on bread, crackers, or in lettuce wraps as desired.
