Creamy Egg Salad

Most recipes for egg salad call for fat-filled mayonnaise, but this recipe uses fat free Greek yogurt instead. You get all the creaminess without added calories to set back your results.
Servings: 3 Here's what you need…

  • 8 organic, free range eggs
  • 4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons onion greens, chopped
  • 1/4 cup non fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons champagne mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon
  • dash of salt and pepper
  1. To boil the perfect egg: place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by half an inch. Heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Wait exactly 7 minutes, and then place the eggs in a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes.
  2. Peel and chop hard boiled eggs, discarding 4 yolks. Place in a large bowl. Add celery, onion greens, yogurt, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Chill and then serve.
