HOW TO MAKE HEALTHIER EGG SALAD?
To make the classic egg salad healthier, forget the mayo. You can still have a creamy egg salad without it. Simply use natural sour cream. It is similar in texture to Greek yogurt and as creamy as mayo. Next, add healthy fat like avocados and red onion for texture and crunch. You can also use celery instead of onion. This egg salad is delicious and perfect for sandwiches or served on baguette slices.
HOW TO MAKE SALAD DRESSING WITHOUT MAYO?
My favorite way to make a creamy salad dressing without mayonnaise, is to mix natural sour cream with lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and chopped parsley. It is perfect for egg salads, potato salads or as a substitute for store-bought ranch dressing. Simply, whisk together sour cream, lemon juice and and spices and pour over the salad ingredients.
