I didn’t boil a lot of eggs at Easter, but after eating some deviled eggs I had a craving for some egg salad. Weird, I know. Anyway, I tried to make the healthiest egg salad I could without sacrificing the flavors I enjoy.

Healthier Egg Salad Substitutions:

• 6 boiled eggs (3 with the yolk removed), chopped
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil mayo (less calories, and uses olive oil as the main fat)
• 2 tsp. mustard
• 1-2 Tbsp. sweet relish and 1-2 Tbsp. dill relish (dill relish has no sugar)
• celery seed or celery for more flavor

Combine all together, and serve atop a bed of salad! Half of the above recipe is less than 300 calories–a perfect lunch addition!

A variation on this is to use avocado instead of mayo. This works as long as you are going to eat it right away. I couldn’t do this because I was going to make a bunch for the week, and didn’t want brown salad.

Have a healthy week!
