When you're craving a delicious deli salad for lunch or dinner but don't want something that will weigh you down, try this recipe for Lightened Up Egg Salad. Removing the yolks from some of the eggs makes this egg salad recipe healthier than most, but it still tastes just as yummy! Spread it on bread or eat it on its own. This classic egg salad dish is great no matter what. 

1. All good egg salads start with perfectly boiled eggs. The yolks should be just cooked through but not chalky and the whites should be tender.

2: Use a box grater to cut your eggs. This will ensure evenness throughout and takes less time than chopping with a knife if you're making a large batch of egg salad for a party or potluck.

3. Crush and mix all your ingredients together by hand. They'll be much gentler on the ingredients than a whisk. Once the yolks, mayonnaise, and whatever other ingredients you love in your egg salad recipe are together in a bowl, mix everything up by hand to get a nice consistency with just the right amount of texture!

4. Play around with the elements! Besides the basics (i.e. hard boiled eggs, mayo, salt, and pepper), test out flavors and textures for what you like best. Some recommendations include celery bits, sliced radishes (these work better if you're making a sandwich rather than mixed into the salad), onions of any variety (no worries about leftovers if you know how to store cut onions), shallots, finely chopped jalapeno bits, etc. This is your time to get creative!

5. For a fresh and light taste, squeeze some lemon juice and add a bit of lemon zest to your mixture. A pinch of parsley also does wonders!
