See our instructions for cooking perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.
Note that the yogurt might separate over time. If you plan to make egg salad the day before you can use 3 tablespoons mayo and 1 tablespoon yogurt (or all mayo) to prevent separation. We like the lightness that a little yogurt imparts, but it’s not necessary. Use all mayo if you want a dairy-free option.
It’s great in a sandwich!

Egg salad is a comfort food for us. This simple version served on whole grain bread with lettuce and sliced tomatoes makes a fantastic sandwich! Of course, we love it on a bed of salad greens too. We like the mix of mayonnaise and yogurt, but you can use all of one or the other, if desired. . Prep Time does not include the time required to cook eggs, which can be done in advance.
