What is this Egg Salad made with?

This is such a simple recipe. You can add additional ingredients to your preference such as: bacon, avocado and/or celery. I love the creaminess of the avocado, the added flavor of bacon and the little crunch that the celery gives this salad.

I love my egg salad with mayonnaise-so instead of replacing the entire amount of mayo with non fat yogurt I use 2 Tbsp of light Kraft mayo to help offset the “yogurt” taste/ texture.

By adding just 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise, the seasonings and the Dijon mustard-you seriously can’t taste the yogurt-which is exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Now, if you are one who doesn’t “need” mayo in their egg salad-you can omit it all together and just add an additional 2 Tbsp of non fat yogurt.

Place eggs into a large pot and add water to cover eggs. Heat over medium heat and bring water to a raging boil.

Add 1 teaspoon of distilled white vinegar and 1/2 tsp of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel.
