The Best high protein egg salad recipe

I love this high protein egg salad recipe because it is a simple way to get a lot of protein without a lot of effort. My kids actually ask for this for lunch because it is creamy and satisfying without being heavy. I make it for quick weekday meals or when I need to bring something to a potluck. The protein comes from the eggs and a few extra ingredients like Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, which makes it much more filling than a traditional egg salad. It is also low in carbs and high in healthy fats, so it fits into many different diets.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About High Protein Egg Salad

1. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

You can, but regular yogurt has more liquid and less protein. Your egg salad will be thinner. If you use regular yogurt, drain it in a cheesecloth for 30 minutes first.

2. How long does this egg salad last in the fridge?

It stays fresh for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Do not freeze it because the texture will change when thawed.

3. Can I make this egg salad without mayonnaise?

Yes, this recipe uses Greek yogurt and cottage cheese instead of mayonnaise. It is a great way to reduce fat and increase protein.

4. What can I serve this egg salad with?

It is great on whole wheat bread, in lettuce wraps, over a bed of greens, or with crackers. For a low carb option, use cucumber slices as a base.

5. How do I get the eggs to peel easily?

Use older eggs because they peel more easily. After boiling, immediately transfer them to an ice bath and let them cool completely before peeling.
