Easy & Creamy Greek Yogurt Egg Salad

Key Ingredients

• Hard-boiled eggs - I make hard-boiled eggs in my pressure cooker because they come out consistently perfect and easy to peel! If you still need to boil some eggs, see instructions below for either stovetop or pressure cooker. Egg salad is also a great way to use up your dyed Easter eggs.
• Greek yogurt - 2% or whole milk plain Greek yogurt recommended here. I'm obsessed with Siggi's yogurt, and if I can't find that, also love Fage.
• Mayo - Just a tiny bit of real, high-quality mayo for a lovely tang and that nostalgic egg salad flavor.
• Fresh dill - One of our favorite spring herbs!
• Green onions - Sliced and finely diced for a lovely flavor.

You will have some extra fresh dill on you hands after making this, so if you want to use that up, you can try it in this easy lemon dill hummus or this one skillet chicken with leeks and farro.

Substitutions & Variations

• No mayo - I love a little dollop of mayo in our Greek yogurt egg salad, but it's still SO good without it! Just add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt in its place.
• Add seasonings - Pepper is a natural flavor addition to eggs, but you can try other spices such as a tiny pinch of garlic powder, mustard powder, or paprika.
• Spicy - You can spice up this egg salad by adding a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes, or a teaspoon of Sriracha sauce (or another chili paste).
• Miso - Miso + eggs (or anything, for that matter) = delicious. Add a teaspoon of white miso paste to the salad and thoroughly mix it in for some extra umami flavor.
• Avocado - Avocado egg salad is totally a thing, and it is mighty tasty. Finely dice up an avocado, add it to your egg salad ingredients, and gently stir it all together. It will be very green... and very delicious.

Boiling Eggs for Egg Salad

If you don't have hard-boiled eggs ready, you'll need to make some! If you do, scroll right on through this section for a visual tutorial on how to make healthy Greek yogurt egg salad. You can make boiled eggs a couple ways:

• Pressure cooker method: I've tested this in both a 5-quart Ninja Foodi and a 6-quart Instant Pot, and both yielded consistent results. If you're trying this method, check out my pressure cooker boiled eggs step-by-step.
• Stovetop method: Place eggs in a pot and fill with cold water to cover eggs by an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil, then remove pot from heat, cover, and let sit for 9-10 minutes. Prepare a large bowl of water and ice in the meantime, and after 10 minutes is up, immediately transfer eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon (timing is key!). Allow to cool in there for 10-15 minutes. Now you're ready to make some egg salad!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Peel your boiled eggs, chop them, and place them into a medium-large bowl.

Step 2: Add finely chopped fresh dill and green onions, Greek yogurt, mayo, and salt.

Step 3: Gently mix all of that together until uniformly combined. Now you have healthy egg salad, ready to top toast, wraps, salads, crackers, or whatever your heart desires.

Hint: When mixing this salad, stirring gently will help maintain some texture instead of breaking down all the delicate egg pieces.

How to Serve

I'm SO glad you asked! This is the fun part 🙂 I love Greek yogurt egg salad on:

• Toasted sourdough - Sourdough is sturdy enough to properly hold a soft filling like egg salad, and it just has the best flavor whether toasted or not. We are obsessed with sourdough from our local bakery, Madison Sourdough.
• Wraps - Perfect for wrapping up a scoop of egg salad and some crunchy fresh lettuce of choice! I also love adding in some pickled red onions, chopped pickles, or hot and sweet pickled jalapeños.
• Salads - A big scoop of something tasty and creamy in a salad is next-level because it balances out the crunchy veggies, similar to how a creamy dressing would. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend!
• Crackers - My first taste of egg salad was on a Triscuit! My parents ate egg salad this way all the time, and the salty, crunchy contrast with the soft and creamy egg salad is to die for.
