Amazing egg salad without all that mayonnaise
If you’re looking for the creamiest recipe you won’t get it by simply chopping up hard-boiled eggs. Instead use those day-old deviled eggs you were considering throwing out for your recipe. The inside of a hard-boiled egg is full of firm yolk but with deviled eggs that crumbly yolk has already been tamed with mayonnaise Greek yogurt or sour cream. The inside becomes smooth and tender so it just makes sense to chop them up for egg salad.
Leftover deviled eggs will keep for up to four days if kept properly refrigerated. You can grab one or two as a snack if you don’t want to eat them to avoid waste or you can simply transform them into something else. Chop the deviled eggs as you normally would for hard-boiled eggs then add additional ingredients as desired. A little mayonnaise combined with some plain Greek yogurt creates a rich tangy cream base to build on those already creamy deviled eggs which is what makes this egg salad upgrade that much better in the first place.
The deviled egg mixture is probably already seasoned but you can jazz up the egg salad with a dash of hot sauce some chopped chives or even a little red onion. Serve it on lettuce wraps for a low-carb lunch but it also tastes delicious between two slices of lightly toasted potato bread.
