Greek Yogurt Egg Salad Recipe

If you’re using non-fat Greek yogurt, then the recipe is even healthier and low fat. For more flavor and depth, we love adding a sprinkle of ground cumin. But the ground cumin is totally optional. To balance out the flavors and textures of this egg salad, we’ve added some crunch from celery and minced pickles. Add extra pickles if you like because the flavors from the minced pickles are fantastic. You can even spice up this recipe beyond the paprika. If you like, add some minced onion, chili powder, garlic salt, lemon pepper or your favorite blend of spices.

Tips on Making the Greek Yogurt Egg Salad

  • Use any plain yogurt you prefer, non-fat will just have less calories and any flavor difference is barely noticeable in the egg salad. Don’t use fruit flavored yogurt or fruit-on-the-bottom.
  • You don’t have to use Greek Yogurt. “Regular” yogurt works fine, but the thickness of Greek yogurts are nice in the recipe. You might want to use a little less if using a more runny yogurt.
  • Add the chopped eggs at the end so they don’t get too beaten up when mixing in. It’s nice to have a bit of texture from the eggs. Plus you get the seasonings all evenly mixed before adding the eggs.
