Low-Yolk Egg Salad

This Low-Yolk Egg Salad reduces the usual richness by discarding some yolks and mixing the remaining chopped hard-boiled eggs with a simple dressing of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh scallions. Kosher salt and black pepper add seasoning. The result is a lighter-textured egg salad that balances creaminess and mild tang, suitable for sandwiches or light meals.

Description

Low-Yolk Egg Salad lowers the fat and cholesterol content by removing two egg yolks from four hard-boiled eggs, using only two yolks combined with all the whites. The eggs are chopped coarsely and mixed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped scallions for flavor and freshness. Seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper finishes the dish.

The Dijon mustard adds subtle sharpness that complements the creamy mayonnaise, while the scallions provide a mild onion note and slight crunch. By reducing the number of yolks, the texture is less dense and oily compared to traditional egg salad.

This egg salad works well as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or served with salads. Its lower yolk content makes it a lighter alternative for those seeking to moderate egg yolk intake without sacrificing flavor.
