Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 stalk Celery, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Ensure the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
While the eggs rest, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water bath to cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy dressing.
Add the chopped eggs, celery, and fresh chives to the bowl with the dressing. Gently stir until the eggs are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving dish and optionally sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Pair with whole-grain bread, lettuce leaves, or enjoy as-is.
