Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cups Celery (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to an ice water bath. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.

Step 4

Once the eggs are peeled, chop them into small pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 5

To the bowl with the chopped eggs, add the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Gently mix the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 7

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika before serving, if desired.
