Key Ingredients

• Hard boiled eggs: The star of the show! We use 6 whole eggs and 4 egg whites to boost the protein. The yolks from the whole eggs will add a richness and creaminess.
• Greek yogurt: A healthier alternative to mayo and is high in protein. You want to use plain flavored Greek yogurt.
• Mayonnaise: We just need a tiny bit to add more creaminess and richness.
• Dijon mustard: Adds flavor, you could also use regular yellow mustard.
• Dill: Fresh dill adds flavor, you could also use dried dill weed but fresh tastes best in this egg salad recipe.
• Fresh chives: Green onions could also be used.
• Salt and pepper: To taste.
• Paprika: A must in egg salads for the flavor.
• Lemon juice: Fresh is always best and adds a slight tang and refreshing flavor.

How To Make High Protein Egg Salad with Dill

Prepare hard-boiled eggs: Add whole eggs and remove the egg yolks from 4 eggs to get the egg whites. Chop into small pieces then add chopped eggs to a medium bowl.

Mix in remaining ingredients: Add the remaining ingredients and mix together with a fork or spoon until you get a creamy egg salad consistency. Serve in a sandwich, bagel, crackers, or add to salad. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

How To Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

Bring a large saucepan or large pot of water to a full boil. Make sure there is enough water to cover at least 1 inch above the eggs. With a large spoon or wooden spoon, carefully place eggs in pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and remove lid.

Set a timer for 13 minutes and let the eggs cook. Once the eggs are done, immediately place them under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooled. You could also place the eggs in an ice water bath. Once they have cooled completely, carefully peel and rinse them.

Is Egg Salad High In Protein?

This particular Healthy Egg Salad recipe is higher in protein compared to a classic egg salad recipe because we swap the mayo for Greek yogurt which is high in protein and we also add in egg whites. This makes a great lunch because the extra protein will keep you feeling satisfied longer.

Add-Ins

• Capers: Add a briney and salty flavor.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Add to avocado toast: Say hello to a delicious breakfast!
• Top with EBTB (Everything But The Bagel) seasoning: Adds even more flavor
• Add egg salad to a bagel, toasted wheat bread, dip with crackers, spoon on top of green salads, lettuce wraps, or enjoy just how it is.
• Mustard: Dijon mustard is always preferred in my house over yellow mustard mostly because it provides the best flavor but you can use either one. Dijon mustard is creamier and has a slight spice flavor since it’s made from black mustard seeds.
• Egg Salad without mayo: If you want no mayo completely or use less mayo from this recipe you can, just be sure to add more yogurt.
