Ingredients

Scale

Egg Salad

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped

For Sandwich Assembly

  • 8 bread slices
  • Lettuce leaves, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare eggs: Peel the hard boiled eggs and roughly chop them into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  2. Make the dressing and mix: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add the chopped eggs and celery to the bowl and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Assemble sandwiches: Place lettuce leaves on 4 slices of the bread. Spoon the egg salad mixture evenly over the lettuce. Top with the remaining slices of bread to close the sandwiches. Optionally, slice the sandwiches in half before serving.

Notes

  • Hard boil eggs by placing them in cold water, bringing to a boil, then simmering for 9-12 minutes.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, tangier flavor and added protein.
  • Chop celery finely to add a nice crunch without overpowering the texture.
  • Feel free to add fresh parsley or dill for extra flavor.
  • Sandwiches can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 1 day before serving.
  • Use whole grain bread for a healthier option.
