Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 large rib celery, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons blended cottage cheese (I used 1%)
  • Squeeze of half a lemon (about 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1/2 teaspoon dry dill (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil mayo
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Place eggs in the bottom of a small saucepan and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat.
  • Remove from heat, cover and let the eggs sit in the water for 11-12 minutes.
  • Place the eggs in a bowl of ice water for several minutes to cool (this also makes it easier to peel the eggs).
  • Peel the eggs, removing the entire shell. Chop the eggs roughly. Add chopped eggs, celery, green onion, blended cottage cheese, lemon juice, dill, mayo, Dijon, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a medium sized bowl.
  • Mix until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Serve on toast, a tortilla, lettuce wraps or with crackers or store in the fridge for later.

Notes

  • To cut prep time, make the hard boiled eggs in advance.
