    This healthy egg salad recipe is made using Greek yogurt and no mayo! It's the tastiest make ahead lunch or dinner side dish and a crowd-pleaser for your Easter get together or summer barbeque. Even better? It's very low carb, high protein, gluten free and keto friendly.

    I love making this easy salad for a gathering or dinner side, but I especially love eating leftovers for lunch.

    Enjoy it on a piece of toast or in a sandwich. Wrap it in a low carb or gluten free tortilla with some tomato, bacon bits, avocado and sprouts. You can also eat egg salad on it's own or place it in large romaine lettuce boats and drizzle with sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce)!

    Sides that double as easy lunch options are the best! Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad, Cucumber Onion Salad and Pasta Salad With Asparagus are other great examples of this.

    • Egg Salad With Greek Yogurt

    Ingredients:

    Eggs: our main ingredient and star of the show!

    Veggies: minced red onion and celery add a little crunch to this egg salad.

    Dill: adds nice, fresh flavor.

    Nonfat Greek yogurt: instead of mayo! Greek yogurt makes this salad lower in fat content and calories. I like using 0% fat yogurt but any percentage will work fine as long as it's plain flavored.

    Dijon mustard: I like a nice, hearty whole grain option.

    Spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Regular paprika can be used as a substitute but smoked is EXTRA tasty. I highly recommend adding this spice to your cabinet if you don't already have it on hand.

    How to hard boil eggs:

    It's so easy! Simply place eggs in a large pot of cold water on the stove top and turn heat to high. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil and then immediately remove from heat and cover. Set a timer for 18 minutes. Drain eggs and place them in a cold ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Dry and place unpeeled eggs back in their carton or in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for about a week or peel and use immediately!

    Frequently asked questions:

    How long does egg salad last?

    Store your egg salad in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator. It should stay good for 3-5 days!

    What can you eat with egg salad?

    I like to eat my egg salad alongside grilled chicken, steak or salmon. It's a great side for a cookout or barbeque with hotdogs and hamburgers. Also, egg salad is often served at Easter dinner as an accompaniment to baked ham. Egg salad is also delicious on it's own. It can be used to make delicious sandwiches and wraps!

    How many carbs are in egg salad?

    It will depend on ingredients used. This particular egg salad recipe has 2.2 nets carbs in each serving which is 1/10th of the recipe (approximately 110 grams, 4oz or a quarter cup).
