Recipe For Egg Salad With Greek Yogurt

Make the perfect Greek Yogurt Egg Salad for sandwiches! You won’t even know this is a healthy recipe – it turns out so creamy and tastes perfect on rye!

My sandwich of choice has always been egg salad. I don’t know why, but something about it just speaks to me. Just hold the mayo for me please – I’m not the biggest fan. To make my egg salad mayo-free, I simply replace the mayo with Greek yogurt and a bit of mustard. The Greek yogurt and egg yolks make the salad incredibly creamy and the mustard adds a nice hint of sharpness and color.

I’m always looking forward to the leftover hardboiled eggs after Easter, so I have a great excuse to make egg salad sandwiches for lunch three days in a row. I’ve been meaning to share my recipe for years now, and I’m so glad I’m finally getting around to it now!

Easy Egg Salad

1 Combine hardboiled eggs, yogurt, mustard, vinegar and seasoning in a bowl and mash well with a fork. There’s absolutely no need to cut up the eggs, just use a fork – so easy!

3 To make an egg salad sandwich to take to work or school, I like to use a slice of rye, a lettuce leaf, a few spoonfuls of egg salad, another lettuce leaf and finally another slice of rye bread. The lettuce acts as a barrier between the bread and the egg salad, so the bread doesn’t get soggy and mushy!

If you don’t have any leftover eggs: If I don’t have any leftover eggs, I like to boil raw eggs for egg salad around 10 minutes, 12 if they’re very large. Then I rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and to make peeling easier.

Want to use mayo? Feel free to use all mayo in place of the Greek yogurt. Or use a combination of mayo and Greek yogurt!

Tip for a large batch: This is a recipe you can easily scale up for a large family. But here’s my tip: If you make a double or even triple batch – forget about the fork for mashing. Use a potato masher instead!

With no mayo, this egg salad recipe is lighter and healthier and lower in fat than mayo-based versions, but still high in protein. I made it with fat free Greek yogurt to keep it extra light, but you can use full-fat for a richer flavor, or even add a little olive oil into the mix.

Because it’s made with yogurt instead of mayonnaise, you may notice some liquid pooling up in it. This is normal. If this happens, just give it a stir before serving, or pour any excess liquid out.

I recently discovered Dave’s Killer Bread in the bread aisle in my grocery store and definitely recommend it. It’s made with great ingredients, and there are all kinds that are much healthier than other bread-aisle breads. I like the thin-sliced organic 21 whole grains and seeds version.
