Egg Salad

Jump to recipe

This is one of those foods I wouldn’t dream of eating as a child, but now as an adult can’t get enough of. Summer seems like the perfect time for this egg salad recipe. Boil some eggs to keep in the fridge for an easy lunch. Or make this egg salad ahead of time and pack it for a day at the beach, lake, or water park.

Cottage cheese has become one of my favorite ingredients. I especially love this Good Culture brand. Oh my gosh it’s the best! The first time I bought it I didn’t love it. I tend to do this with all my favorite things. It has a different consistency than most cottage cheese (which I now love about it) and just overall different taste. When I eat my old favorite, Knudson now, it seems sweet and just weird. I find this at Kroger stores and Target if you want to try it. Target usually always has these snack size ones that are just the right amount for this recipe or for pairing with some Pop Corners chips. If you haven’t tried Pop Corners with cottage cheese, you’re missing out on a great high protein snack!

If you don’t want to boil eggs on the stove, have to wash your whole instant pot, or start your oven, this egg cooker is very convenient. It’s something I ordered for Chad for Christmas thinking it would just be something silly, but he uses it ALL the time. The kids actually use it also, they love hard boiled eggs.

Cottage cheese is a nice addition to this egg salad because it boosts the protein so much. It also significantly reduces the need for extra mayo, resulting in less fat overall. If you’re not a cottage cheese fan I get it, I think the egg salad hides the cottage cheese well in this one.

Do the macros include the bread pictured?

No. The macros for this one is just for the egg salad so you can put it on whatever you like. It’s great on bread, rice cakes, or you can eat it with crackers or chips.

    Hi there, love your recipes! Just a quick question….I’d like to cut back on the fat, do you think it would still taste good if I only used 4 egg yolks. I love the other stats, but always run out of fats! Thank you!

      I mean it definitely won’t taste as good, but I’m sure it would be fine.
