Egg Salad
Description
Egg Salad is prepared by mixing roughly chopped hard-boiled eggs with a blend of Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. This combination balances creaminess with tangy notes. Freshly diced celery adds crispness, while green onions and chives bring subtle onion flavor and color contrast.
The salad is seasoned to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, with a preference for a slightly chunky texture by gently breaking up the eggs. It can be used as a filling for bread or wraps, served with crackers, or placed atop leafy greens for a light meal.
Variations can include adding dill, parsley, finely chopped pickles, paprika, everything bagel seasoning, or hot sauce to customize flavor. The salad keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days, maintaining freshness for multiple servings.
Ingredients
- 6 egg peeled and roughly chopped, hard boiled
- 2 tablespoons yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
- 1/3 cup celery finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced

- black pepper pepper to taste, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped eggs, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir with a spoon, breaking up the eggs until you reach desired consistency. I like to leave the eggs a little chunky.
- Stir in the celery, green onions, and chives. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Serve or refrigerate until ready to use. You can serve the egg salad in bread, in a wrap, with crackers, in a lettuce cup, on top of a bed of greens, or plain.
- Other optional mix ins: chopped fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped pickles, a sprinkle of paprika or everything bagel seasoning, or a dash of hot sauce.
