I love that you included the weight watchers points values!

Hi Blair! I figured as long as I was figuring out the WW points for myself, I might as well share them. The WW online recipe builder makes it pretty easy to calculate points. For lunch, I just had a serving of egg salad on top of lettuce greens with ak-mak whole wheat crackers. Total of 4 points, and it filled me up. :-)

That looks delicious! I tried using Greek yogurt in the past, but it wasn't quite there. I think it was because I used 0%. I'll have to try with 2% or full-fat. Yum!

Monica says:
Hi Jenn. I do think using 2% makes a big difference. I also tried it with 0%, and agree--not quite there.

"Don't include the dill stocks"

The word you're looking for is stalks.

Hi Synnove. Good catch. Thanks for letting me know. I've made the correction.

This is one of the best egg salad recipes I have found and its easy! I had one that was really old, but it seemed to take me too long to make and was kind of plain - not so with this one! The other ingredients like yogurt makes it really interesting, tasty, and gives it a great texture! Thanks! I have replaced my old recipe with yours!

Madison @ Fat Burning Furnace says:
I tried this recently and I used the 2%, which was perfect, so I think I will make it going forward with the 2% rather than trying the 0%. There is nothing worse than making an entire recipe and not liking it! I have always loved egg salad and the yogurt definitely makes it unique.

Monica says:
I totally agree--much better with 2%.

Carin says:
I tried this and at first really disliked it - all I tasted was egg and yogurt...it was weird and didn't taste like egg salad at all; however, not wanting to waste food, I stuck it back in the fridge and thought maybe I'd try it again later.  So, about 2 days later I pulled it out and I'm not sure what happened but it turned into AWESOME tasting egg salad!!  It was rich and creamy and I couldn't taste the yogurt at all!  So, to anyone who makes this and doesn't like it at first, toss it in the fridge and when you come back to it you may be pleasantly surprised :)

Carin says:
Oh yeah, I also added some plain, yellow mustard (that's how my mommy always makes hers), I like the zip it adds.

Nicole says:
Yep. Gotta add mustard (or dried mustard). Onions too. Yum!

If you don't want to use (or don't have) a food processor, use an egg slicer, and just turn the egg a 1/4 or 1/2 turn for a 2nd cut. Can also use a pastry cutter and just work through the eggs until it's as chopped as you like.

Monica says:
Hi Carin. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this recipe and that the flavors mellowed after 2 days. I've had that happen with other recipes, too. This recipe with yogurt is definitely a departure from the taste of a mayonnaise based egg salad; so it's a matter of personal taste whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm personally a fan of Greek yogurt and prefer its tart flavor over mayo--even when this egg salad has just been made. But, it's not for everyone. Really glad you figured out that some wait time in the fridge results in a taste you like.

I've heard the same about refrigerating items that you've blended together with yogurts, sour cream, mayonnaise,etc.....to let the favors fully develop. I made this recipe last night, ate it then & enjoyed it...will see if it tastes better for lunch today!

My mother in law adds not only mustard, but also some curry powder - it's delicious! - but might not work with dill - one or the other.

Monica says:
Hi Dede. A curry version of this sounds delish! I agree--omit the dill if you add curry. Thanks for the tip. :-)

I made this without any mayo and its delicious!  But I have too much to eat in the next few days...do you think I can freeze some of it?
Reply Posted 15 years ago
Monica says:
Hi. I haven't tried freezing this, so I don't really know if it freezes well. Maybe you could try freezing a small amount tonight and thawing it tomorrow to see how it holds up. Then you'll know whether or not you can freeze the rest.

Hi Monica,

I've been meaning to try a 'yogurt' based egg or potato salad for a while, and really liked your recipe! I just happen to have Fage Greek Yogurt on hand too that day! I substituted the 1 tablespoon of mayo with Bolthouse Farms 'yogurt' Ranch Dressing, and blogged about it on my site! (linking back here of course!) Check it out if you're interested!

Melissa says:
I absolutely LOVE this! I have made it several times and it never ceases to impress! How long is it safe to keep and eat the egg salad after you make it? I always try to eat it within a couple of days, but never really know how safe it is...
Reply Posted 14 years ago
Monica says:
Hi Melissa. It should be safe to eat for 3 days. Maybe longer, but I err on the side of caution when it comes to food safety.

Hi! I've never made egg salad before and while it was a favorite in my grandmother's kitchen, I guess I was one picky kid. When I realized I had eggs very quickly going bad, I had to act fast and found your recipe. I gave it a go. Because I don't have yogurt on hand, I used 1/3 cup mayo and a Tbsp. Dijon mustard instead. (I rarely use condiments anyway so figured it wouldn't be TOO unhealthy!) I also added a pinch of smoked paprika... my goodness! From someone who's never even tried egg salad or cared for the idea, this stuff is GOOD! I'm glad that you offer a healthier recipe for folks who do enjoy their condiments too, yogurt is a great idea! Thanks for the enlightenment!

I lost a great egg salad sandwich.  The whites and the yolks were seperated after boiled.  The whites were chopped and the yolks were mashed, there was sour cream and spring onions, I really dont remember anything else. Can anyone help me

I just tried this but I used something called Bighurt(0,1%) because they didn't have greek yogurt.. And the salad is soo delicious! This is the best egg salad recipe ever! XD Thank you :)

Hi Katerina. I haven't heard of Bighurt. Thanks for the info! Glad your egg salad turned out so well. :-)

Could you use jarred dill as opposed to fresh?  I have a whole jar of the stuff.

Had all the ingredients (I used dried dill) when I came across this recipe, so I got up and went to the kitchen to make. This is FABULOUS!! Will never make it the old fashion and fattening way again! Thanks for the recipe!!

You can also make it healthier by substituting tofu for half the eggs and using "light" mayo.

had a hankering for egg salad and thought I would give it a go. Awesome is the first word that came to mind. I used dried dill seed, celery seed, and a pinch of carraway, ground all together.
Great flavor don't miss the fat at all. Thanks!

I have looked for Flake Salt everywhere & have been unable to find it. What brand is it in the picture & where did you find it? I live in California.

Thank you for any help.....I can't wait to try this recipe.....egg salad sandwiches are my husband's favorite.

It looks like Penzey's Spices which is an awesome company.  I am sad that I have moved away from them.  I believe you can buy their spices online.  I highly recommend their fox point seasoning, too.

Liisa says:
Thank you! We just had this with toasted oat bread and tomatoes, and it was great :) Didn't use the dill though, I don't really like it. Instead I put in some finely chopped leek and dried parsley.

Here in Finland we have a traditional spread, "egg butter," wich is made, well, of boiled eggs and butter. Its usually eaten with Karelian pasties (they are delicious traditional pasties made of thin rye crust and rice or potato filling ). Egg butter is of course good but loaded with calories...I think this makes a great substitute. Maybe I'll try and add a few drops of melted butter to the yogurt mix next time to get the butter flavour with less calories.

Hi Liisa. I'm so sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. Somehow I missed seeing your comment until now. I love hearing from you all the way from Finland! Your "egg butter" sounds amazing--something I would like, to be sure. I've never heard of it before, so thanks so much for sharing your yummy tradition. :-)

I never would have thought that Greek yogurt could replace (most of) the mayo!  I just tried this recipe, and it was excellent!  I omitted the pepper and dill based on my own personal taste, and next time I will use a bit less salt.  But it was delicious and will be replacing my standard fatty-mayo recipe!  Thank you :)

I use very little mayo and chop my eggs big, but great idea in the food processor!!  I also add green olives to mine.  My husband says it tastes like deviled eggs that way!  Love the lettuce too!

I usually don't like egg salad because I don't care for mayo, but this recipe inspired me to try. I had never hardboiled an egg and your instructions were PERFECT. Then I made the egg salad -- super easy and yummy (and I used RF mayo and FF Greek yogurt). This recipe is a keeper!
