    Thanks for sharing
    This sounds great, I just boiled eggs to make egg salad with - do you know what the sodium count is?

    This recipe has become a recent favorite of mine, so I thought I'd share! I love that it's high in protein. It also happens to be low in carbs for all you low-carbers out there! It's very customizable; I just made this with what I had on hand. The main secret is using greek yogurt instead of mayo (you won't miss the mayo, trust me).

    Recipe makes 2 servings. You'll need:

    2 large eggs, hard boiled, chopped fine
    1/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
    1 dill pickle spear, chopped fine
    1 tsp yellow mustard
    Salt, pepper, paprika, or other sesonings to taste
    Any other veggies you want (onion, cabbage, etc.) chopped fine

    Stir together all ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Serve however you'd like; I usually eat mine on whole wheat bread for a sandwich, or use a whole wheat tortilla to make a wrap. Makes 2 servings.

    Per serving: 88 calories, 2g carbs, 5g fat, 9g protein

    I often eat both servings at once :) Enjoy!

    THANK YOU!
  • Wonder how this would be if I substitute eggs for Tuna? I see some people are posting "BUMP" what does that mean? They don't like the recipe??

    Our medium eggs here are 88 cals on their own before you add anything else.

    Mine was 111 calories for a half serving, so it was bit more.

    I do a similar recipe but I replace the yogurt with avacado or humus. I don't do as much dairy so it is a good replacement and it gives it a creamy texture.

    I also use avacado or humus when making deviled eggs too. :)

    My recipe is similar, except I don't use the pickle.

    I also add in some Frank's or mushed up avocado from time to time for some extra flavor =)
