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 this Easy Egg Salad?

Hard boiled eggs can be made on the stove or in the Instant Pot.  Click HERE to make the hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot.

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.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 2 Tbsp light Kraft mayo 
  • 1/3 cup non fat plain or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder 
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dill weed
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Optional add ins: (for additional points)

  • 2 oz. avocado, sliced and diced 
  • 2 celery sticks, diced
  • 4 slices center cut bacon, cooked and diced

Directions:

  1. Place eggs into a large pot and add water to cover eggs. Heat over medium heat and bring water to a raging boil.

  3. Turn off the heat, gently put the eggs into boiling water, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Place eggs into a large bowl of ice cold water. (The ice water makes them easy to peel and prevents the eggs from turning green around the edges.)
