Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel and roughly chop the eggs.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Add chopped celery, red onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika to the dressing and mix well.

Step 6

Gently fold the chopped eggs into the dressing mixture until well coated.

Step 7

Adjust seasonings to taste, if necessary.

Step 8

Serve the egg salad over a bed of mixed greens and garnish with cherry tomatoes. Alternatively, serve it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
