Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt (nonfat, plain)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Celery (diced)
• 1 tablespoon Green onion (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Whole-grain bread (low-carb)
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Transfer the chopped eggs to a medium mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, diced celery, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well until fully combined and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwiches, place a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, spread half of the egg salad mixture evenly over it, and top with another slice of bread. Repeat for the second sandwich.

Step 7

Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately, or wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled option.
