Healthy Greek Yogurt Egg Salad

 This Healthy Greek Yogurt Egg Salad dish is my second recipe for #RecipeMakeover week and is a great alternative compared to traditional egg salad!

I decided to make traditional egg salad just a bit healthier by substituting most of the mayo for Greek yogurt. It’s no surprise that I came up with this recipe shortly after Easter.

We had a ton of hard-boiled eggs leftover from our infamous egg butting contest. If you’ve never played the egg butting game (or egg tapping, egg picking) it’s a blast!

The basis of the game is you tap two hard-boiled eggs together at the points and the egg that doesn’t crack wins. It’s a ton of fun now that my kids are old enough to enjoy it, but don’t get the wrong idea, the adults are just as competitive as the kids if not more!

I’m a big fan of adding Greek yogurt to recipes whenever possible.

I have added it to quite a bit of recipes like in these Michigan-Inspired Chicken Apple Cranberry Salad Wraps {made with Greek yogurt} and Honey Lemon Salmon Wraps (with garlic Greek yogurt sauce).

I’ve also branched out and added it to guacamole. My family loved the guacamole recipe so much they request it at all of our family gatherings now!

Dietitian’s Dish

I love swapping out mayonnaise for sour cream for Greek yogurt whenever possible.

Greek yogurt contains a good amount of protein and additional nutrients like probiotics (good bacteria) that aren’t often found in other foods. It’s quite simple to add Greek yogurt to a variety of dishes without compromising flavor.

Next time you make a creamy salad or mayo-based sauce, considering swapping them out for Greek yogurt. You won’t be disappointed!
