Healthy Egg Salad (Mayo-Free)
Tired of having the same, boring salad or lunchmeat sandwich for lunch? Switch it up with this quick and easy, protein-packed Healthy Egg Salad that will keep you full for hours to help you power through the rest of your workday.
Egg salad is one of those lunch options that can appear to be the healthier choice but is often loaded with mayonnaise and other fattening ingredients. That’s why I made this easy, Healthy Egg Salad that’s mayo-free, and made of just a few simple, real food ingredients.
It packs a zesty punch from the dijon mustard and dill pickles, as well as a slight smokiness from the smoked paprika. Combined all together, the flavors create a crunchy, flavorful, and refreshing egg salad that will keep you wanting more.
Ingredients in Egg Salad:
- Hard boiled eggs
- White onion
- Dijon mustard: You can substitue with yellow mustard if you prefer a more tangy, less spicy flavor.
- Plain greek yogurt: This is the substitute for mayo that adds the signature creamy texture every egg salad needs.
- Dill pickle: I love the tang and crunch that the dill pickle brings!
- Fresh lemon juice

- Chop the onions, dill pickles, and hard-boiled eggs
- Add all liquid ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined
