How to Make Healthy Egg Salad
Prepare Hard Boiled Eggs
First, prepare 8 hard boiled eggs. There are many ways to do this, but we have 3 favorites:
Peel Eggs
Once your hard boiled eggs are fully cooked and ready to go, it’s time to peel and chop them. If you are following our hard boiled eggs on the stove, we recommend letting your eggs sit in an ice bath for a few minutes. It will help make the eggs easier to peel. Once you’ve peeled the gives, give them a nice rough chop and transfer them into a large bowl.
Add Flavors
Add plain Greek yogurt, mayo, sriracha, dijon mustard and paprika to the eggs and mix until combined. Use a wooden spoon or fork to mash some of the eggs, while keeping some chunkier for the perfect egg salad consistency.
Eat!
Enjoy! Or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to enjoy later.
