Description
A quick, creamy egg salad flavored with fresh dill and chives. High in protein, dairy-free, and easy to make ahead for quick low FODMAP lunches or no-cook suppers.
Ingredients
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, divided
- ¼ cup (56 grams) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of paprika
- Pinch of celery seed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- 4 slices low FODMAP bread, toasted
- 2-4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Hard-boil the eggs (if needed): Stovetop: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath and cool for 5 minutes. Or use my Instant Pot method.
- Prep the eggs: Peel all 5 eggs. Halve one egg and remove the yolk; set it aside. Finely chop the remaining 4 eggs and the remaining egg white.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, mash the reserved yolk. Then, whisk in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, and celery seed until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the salad: Fold in the chopped eggs, dill, and chives until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill and serve: For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving. Serve cold on toasted bread with a lettuce leaf or two.
Storage: Refrigerate egg salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.
