Instructions

  1. Begin by peeling and rinsing the hard-boiled eggs to remove any shell residue.
  2. Discard two of the yolks, saving the remaining yolks for the mix.
  3. Chop the four egg whites and the two remaining yolks into small pieces to ensure an even distribution throughout the salad.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with the celery, onion, green pepper, fat-free mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, table salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  5. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a refreshing snack later on, or chill before serving to enhance the flavors.

Enjoy this deliciously light egg salad as a satisfying lunch option that won’t compromise your healthy eating goals!
