Easy Egg Salad with Greek Yogurt, Capers, and Dill

Ever since Mark and I decided to try “Meatless May” a few months ago, I’ve  been exploring new ways to enjoy old favorites. This easy egg salad recipe substitutes Greek yogurt and dijon mustard for mayo, and uses capers, tarragon, and dill to make it not only healthy but oh-so-tasty too!

INGREDIENTS

6 large eggs
¼ cup (2 oz/60 g) plain, low- or non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon roughly chopped capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, dill, or chives, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the eggs (if you’re like me you need instructions):

Put the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let rest for 20 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel.

Chop up the eggs – yolk and all.

Place the chopped-up eggs in a bowl and add the yogurt, capers, mustard, lemon juice, and herbs. Mix to desired consistency.

Serve with crackers or on your favorite bread as a sandwich.  Enjoy!

 

I worked out with Meredith for years before she (sadly) moved away. She is creative, fun, and great at correcting your form. She can adapt to injuries you might have. She will incorporate things you like (yoga) and can work with all types of exercise equipment from machines to bands to TRX to free weights to your body weight. No two workouts are the same, which means you do not get bored and you want to keep coming back!

Meredith first sought to truly understand my fitness goals and then observed my current weight-training routine.  She then helped me organize a workout plan that gave me better results, in the same amount of time.  Now I have a more balanced routine that is producing better results, in the same amount of time, with the same amount of effort. She always had my work within my comfort level and has helped me develop a more balanced program that maximizes the results.

I found my happy place at home with Meredith and Primetime Fitness.  I started virtual training with Meredith at the beginning of Covid and now virtual training is part of my weekly routine.  What a joy to get a great workout and not have to leave the house! Thanks, Meredith!

I’ve been taking Meredith’s classes for a few short months and also doing some training sessions with her, and it has already made me stronger.  I love that she offers lower-impact options (for this 58-year-old) and also motivates all of us during class!

I was recently diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.  I had worked out with Meredith once before, but at the time, I just wasn’t dedicated to a routine.  As soon as I was diagnosed, I shot her a quick email, and she immediately responded. We met and discussed diet and exercise; she was a wealth of information. I started working out with her and figuring out what routine spoke best to me. She helped me set up a Peloton bike and monitored my form. Hey, if this 65-year-old woman can get in shape, anyone can. I’m 15 pounds down and on the right track. Thanks, Meredith!
