Description
A creamy, tangy egg salad with a protein-packed twist from cottage cheese. Fresh flavors with a hint of mustard, perfect for lunch or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions (optional)
- Celery, diced (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer a creamier salad, reserve one yolk to mash and mix later. Dice the celery and chop green onions if using.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Add the mashed yolk here if you want extra creaminess.
- Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and the texture is even. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, fold in chopped green onions and diced celery. Chill for 15–30 minutes for flavors to meld, then serve on bread, as a sandwich, or on a bed of lettuce.
Notes
Great for weekday lunches and picnics. Serve on whole-grain bread or over mixed greens.
