Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 stalks celery finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 small red onion finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) (note: if you don’t like raw onion, use extra celery instead)
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 Tbsp. drained capers (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill or 1 tsp. dried
  • 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt or sour cream
  • French or ciabatta rolls rye bread, or lettuce

Instructions

  1. Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes. Drain them and transfer them to a bowl of ice water until they are cool. Peel and chop the eggs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, celery, onions, smoked salmon, capers (optional) and dill. Combine the mayonnaise and yogurt or sour cream and stir it gently into the egg mixture. Refrigerate it for up to 2 days or serve it immediately on lightly toasted bread or over lettuce.
