High Protein Egg Salad (Low Calorie)
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 93kcal
My new addiction. This healthy, low calorie egg salad is creamy, tangy, fresh and flavorful. It is absolute perfection on top of some toasted bread with some arugula. Or, make it into a sandwich, stuff it in a wrap or pita, or eat it by itself.

Ingredients
- 8 large eggs or you can buy store-bought hardboiled eggs to save time
- 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (60g) or light mayo!
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp chopped chives or green onion
- 1-2 Tbsp dill pickle relish to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil (for easier to peel eggs, add 1/2 Tbsp salt and 1 Tbsp vinegar). Once at a rolling boil, set the timer for exactly 10 minutes (for perfect hard boiled eggs) then remove from heat. Run eggs over cold water for a few minutes until all the hot water is gone and you’re left with the cold water. Let eggs sit in the cool water for 10 minutes until they reach room temperature.
- Peel the eggs. Discard the yolks from 4 of them (I like to give them to my dogs). This helps make the egg salad lower calorie but you can use them all if you want! Sometimes I do that.
- Then chop the 4 whole eggs and the 4 egg whites and add to a bowl. Add the yogurt, mustard, chives, pickle relish, salt and pepper. Combine well.
- Make into a sandwich (or an open faced sandwich) or eat with your favorite crackers!
