Every spring, my chickens start producing more eggs than I know what to do with. We always save some to dye for Easter. Then, I give them to neighbors and use them up with recipes like our southwest egg bake and 5-ingredient deviled eggs.

However, this healthy egg salad is one of my go-to recipes when I want something that’s quick, easy, and still super tasty. It tastes just like classic egg salad but is made with a boost of protein, making it extra filling!

Ingredients and Notes

Hard-Boiled Eggs – Hard-boil eggs ahead of time, and peel them before you begin.
Greek Yogurt – We use full-fat, plain Greek yogurt for the richest flavor and creamiest consistency, but any unflavored regular Greek yogurt or dairy-free Greek yogurt will work. If you’re not a fan, mayonnaise is the more traditional option and still tastes great.
Yellow Mustard and Apple Cider Vinegar – These add a subtle tang.
Herbs and Spices – Chopped fresh chives, dried dill, and burger seasoning create a savory, herbaceous taste that sets this Greek yogurt egg salad apart from other recipes.

How to Make Egg Salad with Greek Yogurt

Chopped hard boiled eggs in a white mixing bowl.

Prep the eggs. Chop the hard-boiled eggs into coarse pieces, making sure to include both the yolk and whites. We like to use a pastry cutter, but you can also just chop them with a knife.

2. Combine ingredients. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, and gently fold to combine. Give the salad a quick taste test, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, or chill in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!

Possible Variations

Add crunch. Fold in ¼ cup of finely diced celery and about 2 tablespoons of diced red onion for extra texture and flavor.
Include Dill pickles. Stir in 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill pickles and 1 teaspoon of pickle juice for a tangy, deli-style flavor.
Make it spicy. Mix in ½-1 teaspoon sriracha, chili crisp, or hot sauce for a little heat.
Mediterranean egg salad. Add ¼ cup of chopped cucumber, 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a fun twist.
Bacon egg salad. Stir in 3-4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon for a smoky twist.
Swap the fresh herbs. Replace the dill with fresh parsley, tarragon, or basil for a brighter herb flavor.

Our Favorite Ways to Serve

Our favorite way to serve this egg salad with Greek yogurt is with bread as a sandwich with a side of chips and fresh fruit salad. However, it’s also great on English muffins or bagels topped with chives or scallions (green onions) and avocado for a breakfast or brunch option.

Or, enjoy it spooned into large lettuce leaves, scooped into avocados, or as a dip with crackers, pretzels, cucumber slices, or veggie sticks.
