Healthy Egg Salad Sandwiches!

I love sandwiches. Turkey, chicken salad, egg salad--anything. This egg salad sandwich is actually HEALTHY because it isn't mayonnaise based (although there is a tiny bit of it). This entire batch was only 642 calories (not including the bread) and it made 4 sandwiches--which came out to 160 calories (380 calories including the bread*). That's one low-cal lunch or dinner (and I'm actually full from it!).  This recipe only takes a few ingredients and is great for if you're in a pinch. 

Plain Greek yogurt, fresh dill, mayonnaise, eggs, and salt and pepper are all you need!

Ingredients:
8 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup of plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. mayonnaise (I used light to keep the calories down)
1 Tbsp. of fresh dill (or 1 tsp. of dried dill)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Boil, peel, and chop the eggs up. In a separate bowl, use a fork to whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, salt and pepper. Add the chopped eggs and mix lightly with the fork until well combined. Eat it straight out of the bowl or serve as sandwiches.. either way it tastes great! 



Yum! 


*For Joe's and my sandwiches, I served it on Milton's Multigrain Bread, and for the kids sandwiches, I served it on white bread. It tasted good on the multigrain bread, but it tasted great on the kid's white bread. The calorie total using Milton's Multigrain Bread was 380 calories per whole sandwich, whereas the calorie total using white bread was 340 calories per whole sandwich. 

Enjoy! :)
