Happy Friday, loves! Happy Happy Friday – that precedes a long weekend! Anyone up to anything fun!?
I shared with you last week a yummy egg white salad that I creatied – inspired by the Egg White Salad with Chives that I purchased from Trader Joes.
I’ve never made Egg Salad using anything but the whole egg – and mayonaise.
Well.. I’ve also never liked egg salad before because I don’t like the yolks of eggs.
Let me tell you – I am IN LOVE with egg Salad now!!
Egg White Salad
Makes 2 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 Egg Whites (hardboiled, cooled.. shelled.. you know.. just the white part)
- 1/4 Cup Frozen Peas (slightly defrosted in microwave)
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 1 tbsp Sherry Wine Vinegar (I bet apple cider vinegar would be GREAT.. just don’t have any)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey (just to soften the tang a tiny bit.. but if tang is what you want.. then omit this)
Preperation
- Slice the egg whites into 1/4 in pieces
- Add frozen peas and green onions
- Add mustard, sherry wine vinegar, lemon juice
- Decide if you want to sweeten… if so add honey.
- Mix together – and let sit in refrigerator for at least a half hour .. allowing flavors to disperse
I enjoyed this in an open faced sandwich .. and also mixed in the a salad. It is a great summer meal – that is very friendly to a light diet and healthy life style!!
What is your favorite non-veggie based salad??

I like pasta salads. I haven’t had any in a long time, but I would enjoy one given it was in front of me lol. Before I got all health technical with cooking/baking, I used to make a really good potato salad. I did use some lower fat substitutes, but I could never make it now since I really try to avoid mayo at all costs!

I avoid mayo too. Something about it just grosses me out! Greek yogurt can be an awesome substitution!

My fave non-veggie salad is egg salad with mustard or chicken salad with celery, grapes and apples. Nom nom nom.
What did you do with the egg yolks? Just wondering

I throw them out! I know its wasteful
When I am at my parents house.. sometimes someone will eat them. (Which makes me gag.. a hard boiled yolk.. yuck!)

That sounds great! I love a good pasta salad, or potato salad. I don’t make it with mayo, though (hate it). I bake the potatoes and used nonfat sour cream.

This is so simple but healthy and tasty-looking! I might make it with some greek yogurt to make it even creamier.

That looks great! I used to think egg salads were gross and then recently had a random craving for them, found an amazing recipe and now I’m obsessed!

YUM!! my favorite non-veggie salads have to be egg and tuna. but i just saw a recipe where i believe PB Fingers swapped out tuna and put in shrimp…i can’t wait to try it and i think THAT would be my top pick!

I like egg salad, but I haven’t had it in forever. I dont’ have any aversions to eggs so I’m good w/ regular egg salad- but the egg white salad does look good. Boiling & peeling eggs is a lot of work just for the egg whites though.
