How to Make Almost Egg White Salad

  1. Hard-boil 6 large eggs until yolks are fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  2. Carefully peel the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Reserve 5 egg whites and 1 egg yolk.
  3. Finely chop the reserved egg whites.
  4. In a medium bowl, mash the reserved egg yolk with a fork. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add other desired ingredients (see suggestions below).
  6. Serve on your favorite bread, in a lettuce wrap, or with pita bread, tomato, and lettuce as suggested.
  7. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Almost Egg White Salad!
