Spicy Egg Salad with Yogurt (High Protein, No Mayo)
I made this spicy egg salad when I wanted something quick, high in protein, and a bit more interesting than a classic version. It's creamy without mayo, slightly spicy, and super easy to prepare. Perfect for a quick lunch, light dinner, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 125 g lamb's lettuce
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 2-3 tbspq Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoon lime juice
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 9-10 minutes, then transfer them to cold water and let them cool.
- Prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mustard, paprika, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Chop the vegetables. Finely chop the red bell pepper and red onion.
- Assemble the salad. Add lamb's lettuce to a bowl, then top it with chopped vegetables and sliced eggs.
- Add the dressing. Pour the spicy yogurt dressing over the salad.
- Mix gently. Gently mix everything together until well combined. Try not to break the eggs too much.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha
- For extra protein, you can add one more egg
- This works great as a healthy egg salad without mayo
- Best served fresh, but still good after a few hours in the fridge
