Ingredients

• 8 large eggs Egg whites
• 3 tablespoons Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 stalk (finely diced) Celery
• 2 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, making sure they are fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

Once cooked, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes to make peeling easier.

Step 3

Carefully peel the eggs and remove the yolks, leaving only the whites. Discard (or reserve for another use) the yolks.

Step 4

Roughly chop the egg whites into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the egg whites.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Gently mix everything together until fully combined and creamy.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy as a sandwich filling, dip, or salad topping!
