Crunchy carrot, cucumber and scallions are a colorful addition to this vegetarian egg salad recipe. Pack it with some crunchy crackers and tomatoes for a healthy, light lunch.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (Great Value Salt, 26 oz.)
- 8 hard-boiled eggs (see Tip)
- ½ cup finely chopped carrot
- ½ cup chopped cucumber, peeled and seeded if desired
- ¼ cup sliced scallions
Preparation:
Active: 25 min.
Ready In: 25 min.
- Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, pepper and salt in a medium bowl.
- Halve eggs and discard 4 of the yolks (or save for another use). Add whites and the remaining 4 yolks to the bowl and mash to desired consistency. Gently stir in carrot, cucumber and scallions. To hard-boil eggs, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and cover the eggs with ice-cold water. Let stand until cool enough to handle before peeling.
