How to Make Better For You Egg Salad

  1. Hard-boil 6 large eggs. Once cool, peel and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Discard 2 egg yolks.
  3. Finely chop the remaining 4 egg whites and 2 egg yolks.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs with 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled on your favorite bread or crackers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
