Egg Salad

Our low-cal, low-fat egg salad recipe will be a hit at your next family get-together! We use Greek yogurt in place of mayo to cut down on calories and fat, while going back to the basics and letting sweet relish, mustard, dill, and of course eggs shine through.

Pro tips:

  • Serve on whole-wheat white toast or a sandwich thin with fresh lettuce.
  • For a handy packed lunch idea, try wrapping up in a Flatout® Light Original Flatbread with lettuce.
  • Make ahead and keep refrigerated for up to 5 days (includes the day you make it).
  • Cook the eggs the day before, to cut down on prep time. Not sure how to hard-boil eggs? No problem:
  • Egg-chopping tip: For a faster and consistent chop, place a gridded cooling rack over a mixing bowl. Push the eggs through the rack to make quick work out of getting perfectly “chopped” eggs!

Recipe: Light Egg Salad

Prep time: 5-10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes + 10 minutes cooling time

Yield: 4 servings

Serving size: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs (6 whole, and 6 whites only after cooked)
  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Mt. Olive® No Sugar Added Sweet Relish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Take the eggs out of the refrigeration for 10 minutes prior to cooking to allow them to get close to room temperature.
  2. In a pot large enough to comfortably hold all of the eggs, bring water to a boil (enough water to cover the eggs at least 1 inch).
  3. When the water comes to a boil, add the eggs and boil them for 3 minutes.
  4. At the end of 3 minutes, remove the pot from the burner and cover it for 15 minutes.
  5. Drain the eggs and submerge them in an ice bath to cool them down quickly.
  6. When cooled, gently crack the large end of the egg on a hard surface and begin peeling the shell away.
  7. Discard 6 of the cooked yolks, and chop up the rest of the eggs.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, relish, salt, black pepper, and dill. Gently fold in the chopped up eggs.
  9. Chill before serving.
