This updated egg salad uses fewer yolks, forgoes mayo, and takes on watercress and whole-grain bread for the sandwich.

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 large eggs
3 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups watercress, thick stems removed
8 thin slices (1 ounce each) whole-grain bread

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cover eggs with 1 inch of cold water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover, and let stand 11 to 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice-water bath; let stand 2 minutes. Peel eggs; cut in half, and remove yolks. Crumble 2 yolks, and set aside; discard remaining yolks. Finely chop egg whites, and transfer to a medium bowl. Add crumbled egg yolks.
  • Whisk together ricotta, yogurt, mustard, chives, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Add to egg mixture, and gently stir to combine.
  • Arrange egg salad, then watercress, over 4 slices of bread, dividing evenly. Top with remaining slices of bread.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was a healthier and just as delicious alternative.

This recipe is a great base for egg salad. I like to add different ingredients to it, like chopped bacon, cheese, or chopped pickles.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used lettuce wraps instead of bread. It was a great way to enjoy egg salad without the carbs.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the eggs and added mashed avocado instead. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted tofu for the hard-boiled eggs. It worked out great! The tofu gave the egg salad a nice creamy texture.

I followed the recipe exactly and the egg salad turned out bland. I had to add more salt, pepper, and mustard to taste.

I'm not a big fan of egg salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The addition of celery and onion really adds a nice crunch and flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've been making this egg salad sandwich recipe for years and it's always a hit! The combination of hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, and onion is perfect. I like to add a little bit of chopped dill for extra flavor.
