What is this Egg Salad made with?
This is such a simple recipe. You can add additional ingredients to your preference such as: bacon, avocado and/or celery. I love the creaminess of the avocado, the added flavor of bacon and the little crunch that the celery gives this salad.
I love my egg salad with mayonnaise-so instead of replacing the entire amount of mayo with non fat yogurt I use 2 Tbsp of light Kraft mayo to help offset the “yogurt” taste/ texture.
By adding just 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise, the seasonings and the Dijon mustard-you seriously can’t taste the yogurt-which is exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Now, if you are one who doesn’t “need” mayo in their egg salad-you can omit it all together and just add an additional 2 Tbsp of non fat yogurt.

How do I make hard boiled eggs on the stove?
Place eggs into a large pot and add water to cover eggs. Heat over medium heat and bring water to a raging boil.
Add 1 teaspoon of distilled white vinegar and 1/2 tsp of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel.
Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let the eggs sit for 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine cold water with a few ice cubes.
Place eggs into to the bowl of ice cold water
The ice water makes them easy to peel
Add additional ice cubes to the water as it starts to get warmer. Continue until the eggs have cooled.
Then peel eggs.
Dice eggs into small bite size pieces and place into a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl combine the rest of the ingredients. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
Fold in the mayo/yogurt mixture into egg pieces. Add any optional ingredients.
Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
