Smokey Double Cream Egg Salad

By: The Food Hunter

At the beginning of 2017 I vowed that instead of always packing the same lunches day in and day out, I would try and be more creative with my mid-day meals. So far it has been smooth sailing. I've made a variety of sandwiches, soups and most recently a delicious egg salad.

Contrary to popular belief, the health benefits of eggs are huge and include: improving your eye sight, keeping your skin healthy and reducing the risk of heart disease. When you mix eggs with Stonyfield's new Double Cream yogurt & Simply Organic spices, two additional "good for you products," you have a healthy and tasty meal that can be ready in minutes.

So what is this double cream yogurt I mentioned? It's a new yogurt product from Stonyfield that is thicker, richer and creamier than whole milk yogurts due to its higher fat content. Made specifically for cooking and baking, it can easily be substituted in most recipes calling for sour cream, buttermilk, or oil. I've had wonderful results adding it to pancake batter and cakes, among other things.

For those that don't know Simply Organic Spices are all free of MSG, GMO’s, aspartame, and high fructose corn syrup, so you can feel good about using them in your favorite recipes.


Smokey Double Cream Egg Salad

4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
2-3 tbsp. Stonyfield Double Cream Yogurt
1 tsp. Simply Organic Smoked Paprika

Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs. Add the Double Cream yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Add the paprika and stir to combine. Serve between bread or as a topping for crackers.

I have an ongoing relationship with Stonyfield as a member of the Clean Plate Club. I receive product, coupons and compensation for posts featuring their products. As always, all opinions are 100% my own

  8. I've never made egg salad with yogurt before. I usually use sour cream instead of mayo, which is a bit odd, I know. I think your version will be delicious!
