Eggs are a natural source of protein and naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A, folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline and phosphorus. They are also very filling – which is great when you are watching your weight.

HOW TO MAKE HARD BOILED EGGS
To make the perfect hard boiled eggs:
- Bring water to boil in a stovetop pot.

- Boil eggs for 8 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Cover pot and let eggs sit for 8 minutes.
- Remove eggs from hot water and add to a bowl of cold ice water. Cool in the freezer for 15 minutes.

PUTTING TOGETHER THE EGG SALAD
Gently tap each hard boiled egg on the countertop to crack the shell. Gently peel the shell away and dice each egg into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced eggs, green onions, yellow onions, fresh dill, pickles, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, turmeric, paprika, and salt & pepper. Mix well.
You can enjoy your egg salad right away, or chill in the refrigerator to let the flavors fully combine.
