Print Recipe

A quick, fresh, and high-protein egg salad wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, perfect for light lunches or dinners without the heaviness of traditional mayo-based salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 large butter lettuce or romaine leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Peel eggs under running water and chop into bite-size pieces. Place in a mixing bowl.
  4. Finely chop celery, slice green onions, and chop parsley. Add to the eggs.
  5. Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir gently to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Rinse and dry lettuce leaves and lay them flat on a serving plate.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto each lettuce leaf and fold or roll gently to hold the filling.
  8. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

Use a timer to boil eggs exactly 10 minutes and shock in ice water to avoid green yolk rings. Be gentle when mixing to keep some egg chunks for texture. If the salad is too thick, add a splash of water or more yogurt. Store egg salad and lettuce separately to avoid sogginess.
