Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Celery (finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the eggs to cook for 9-10 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooked, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs, then chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped eggs, celery, parsley, chives, and dill until evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately on whole-grain bread, crackers, or over a bed of greens. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
