So I used my famous low calorie cooking hacks to make healthy, no mayo egg salad recipes with dill and yummy spices. So you never miss all the fat and calories of mayonnaise.
Low Calorie Tips for Egg Salad:
- Greek Yogurt: Use Greek Yogurt to add creaminess, and protein!
- Serve it Healthy: I have supplied you 5 ways to serve egg salad in the next section… All healthy ways to easy egg salad,
- Skip the Mayo: Mayonnaise is so heavy, packed full of calories and fat. It’s not a low calorie option, instead use a combination of dijon mustard and green yogurt in egg salad. You won’t be able to taste the difference!
- Add in Veggies: I added in celery and green onions. This means we get to have 1/2 cup instead of 1/3 cup… and the calories are lower! Talk about a “healthy filler” veggies stretch out the recipe and add a great crunch.

Just made this! I love how you can’t taste the Greek yogurt in this, however, the dill flavor is a bit overpowering. If anything, I would lessen the amount of dill and add some lemon juice to help balance the flavor. Otherwise, it is very yummy.
