Zero Point Egg Salad 🥰
I’m not even kidding when I say I usually avoid ordering egg salad at restaurants. Most of the time it’s overloaded with mayo, weirdly soggy, or just plain bland. And if you’re trying to eat lighter? Forget it.
So I started making my own healthier versions at home, and honestly, this Zero Point Egg Salad might be my favorite one yet.
I first saw a chef online using fresh dill and mustard in her egg salad, and I figured I’d try a lighter version without all the heavy mayo. I swapped in nonfat Greek yogurt, added crunchy celery and herbs, and WOW. It turned out creamy, fresh, and super satisfying without feeling heavy at all.
My boyfriend tried a bite and immediately started making himself a sandwich too 🤣
The best part? It’s packed with protein, ridiculously easy to make, and perfect for meal prep lunches.
If you’ve been searching for a healthy egg salad recipe that actually tastes good, this is it.
Zero Point Egg Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 hard-boiled eggs
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: paprika for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer immediately to an ice bath to cool completely.
Step 2: Peel and Chop
Peel the eggs and chop them into small chunks.
I like keeping some larger pieces because it gives the egg salad a better texture and makes it feel homemade.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Dressing
In a bowl, mix together:
- Nonfat Greek yogurt
- Dijon mustard
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
The Greek yogurt keeps everything creamy without needing mayo.
Step 4: Add Flavor and Crunch
Mix in:
- Celery
- Green onion
- Fresh dill
Honestly, the fresh dill is what makes this recipe taste extra fresh and flavorful.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Fold the chopped eggs into the dressing mixture gently until fully coated.
Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately or chill for 20–30 minutes for even better flavor.
Tips for the Best Zero Point Egg Salad
Use Greek Yogurt Instead of Mayo
Nonfat Greek yogurt keeps this recipe light, creamy, and high in protein.
Fresh Herbs Matter
Fresh dill gives this egg salad a bright flavor that dried herbs just can’t match.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs
Overcooked eggs can turn rubbery and dry. The ice bath helps keep them tender.
Add More Crunch
If you like texture, extra celery works really well.
Meal Prep Friendly
This keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serving Suggestions
This healthy egg salad works in so many ways:
