How to make healthy egg salad

1. Make the hard -boiled eggs. You will love my foolproof method to make hard-boiled eggs directly in my instant pot. Make sure you cool completely before adding them to the salad.
2. Combine ingredients. As soon as the eggs have cooled, peel and chop the eggs and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. The egg yolk becomes creamy when you stir.
3. Chill and enjoy! Cover the egg salad at least 30 minutes before serving and cool it in a sealed airtight container in the fridge until you are ready.

Tips, tricks and substitutions

• Use older eggs – I like to use eggs for the best results that are a little older, since older eggs have a higher pH value than fresh eggs. This helps to loosen the binding between the protein and the inner shell membrane, which makes it easier to peel.
• More nutrition – Throw something chopped spinach or rocket for some additional greens or mix a creamy avocado for healthy fats.
• More crunch – For additional crunch and taste, you can add some chopped vegetables such as red onions, peppers, cucumbers or carrots, and you can also add some chopped nuts or seeds.
• Additional taste – Add a shot hot sauce, Sriracha or sprinkle a few all Bagel spice to get additional taste or warmth.
• Creamier salad – Feel free to mix a tablespoon of olive oil, hummus, creamy cottage cheese or avocado for a creamier egg salad.

How to serve egg salad

• Everything for yourself – Eat it with a spoon directly from the bowl to get a delicious high protein snack or lunch!
• sandwich – Make egg salad -sandwiches by laying windows made of whole grain bread with a few lettuce leaves and tomato slices or on a piece of toast for breakfast.
• Wrap (or salad packaging!) – Roll it into a tortilla or salad cup for the perfect lunch.
• Leaf green salad – Top it on a bed made of leaf vegetables such as Romaine Salad, spinach leaves or arugula for the ultimate salad.
• Dive – Serve it with some crackers, chips or vegetables for a delicious snack or starters.
