This Easy Egg Salad Recipe is great for a quick and easy, healthy, gluten free, vegetarian, low carb, meal prep lunch! Hard boiled eggs with celery, red onion, light mayo, non fat plain greek yogurt, dijon, and spices! Less than 150 calories per serving!
If you love re-invented classics like this easy egg salad, you’ll also love: homemade healthy air fryer fish sticks, easy ground beef tacos, and deviled eggs!
I don’t know why, but over the years I’ve developed a hard core obsession with hard boiled eggs:
- AM: hard boiled eggs with sriracha or truffle salt
- Snack: deviled eggs #alldayeveryday
- PM: easy egg salad sandwich on toasted bread
Don’t ask me why it took me so long to post this easy egg salad recipe. It’s great on it’s own with a spoon or lettuce to keep this low carb, but I also love it served with crunchy crackers or on toasted bread with a little spinach!
It’s creamy, it’s hearty, it’s crunchy, it’s delicious.
Bonus: I used light mayo (I love the olive oil based kind) to keep the flavor, but added in some non fat plain greek yogurt to lighten this up a bit.
Get ready.
The obsession is real.
