i used to love egg salad sandwiches until i realized how high in calories they are. i wonder if there is a low cal recipe anywhere. i wonder if just using hellmann's light mayo would be enough to modify it? any ideas?

    I use Hellmann's Light (35 calories) all the time. It really does make the difference in a recipe.

    I make mine with 40-45calorie whole wheat bread
    2 egg hard boiled egg whites only (I dislike egg yolk)
    Hellman's - Light Mayo, 1 Tbsp
    4 slices of Cucumber

    Under 200 calories.

    I use plain yogurt instead of mayo... after spices, you won't know the difference! :D

    I don't know if it would work the same for egg salad, but I know when I make tuna salad I do half light mayo and half yellow mustard to get the right consistency, and right there you cut out half of the calories from the mayonnaise.

    I mix some cedar's all natural hummus original tahini ( im sure another brand would be fine just make sure its plain or original) ,with a yellow mustard and lil bit of chopped dill pickle. i sometimes also add some hard boiled egg whites to it....this is also a great substitute for devil eggs i call them "angel eggs" just don't add any egg whites to the mix and plop some of the mix onto a hard boiled egg white and sprinkle a lil paprika. so delish.
