A blessed Easter + Egg-Salad Recipe
Turn your hard boiled eggs into a high-protein egg salad lunch, customized to your preferences using AI. Perfect for busy professionals and active families.
I am raising a glass of wine to toast a beautiful Easter. I hope your Sunday is filled with peace, love, and renewal. Whether you are hosting a large crowd or enjoying a quiet morning, I hope you find a moment to breathe and celebrate.
Growing up, my Abuela never let anything go to waste in our kitchen. She taught me that leftovers are not just scraps. They are an opportunity to create something fresh and nourishing. Which was typically the case with the died hard-boiled eggs.
If you have extra hard-boiled eggs by Sunday evening, follow her lead. This is the perfect “Monday recovery” meal. It is healthy, filling, and takes five minutes to assemble before you head to the office.
Betty’s Pro Egg Salad: The Best Lunch for Busy Professionals
This recipe skips the heavy mayo and uses fresh, whole ingredients. I never use celery in mine. I prefer the crunch of fresh cucumber instead.
The Protein: 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped.
The Base: 2 tablespoons greek plain yogurt and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
The Freshness: 1/2 cup finely diced cucumber and 2 chopped green onions.
The Flavor: A tablespoon of fresh chopped dill, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper.
Optional: A light sprinkle of smoked paprika on top.
How to serve it: Scoop it into a bowl, over a bed of greens, or on a slice of toasted sourdough. It is the ultimate low-stress meal for a busy workday.
