Instructions
- 1
Hard-boil 6 large eggs: place in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, cover, turn off heat, sit 11 minutes. Plunge into ice water for 5 minutes, then peel.
- 2
Chop the eggs roughly — not finely, you want some texture. Transfer to a bowl.
- 3
Make the dressing: ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (the small amount keeps richness without being heavy), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons chopped chives.
- 4
Pour the dressing over the eggs. Add 1 finely chopped celery rib, 2 tablespoons of finely diced red onion, 1 tablespoon of capers (optional but adds great brininess). Fold gently with a fork — don't overmix or the eggs turn into paste.
- 5
Warm 4 large whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
- 6
Build each wrap: tortilla flat, a layer of baby spinach or arugula across the bottom half, ¼ of the egg salad, a few slices of tomato, a sprinkle of black pepper. Fold sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom. Slice diagonally and eat immediately.

💡 Expert Tips
- 1.11 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Longer and the yolks turn grey-green and the whites get rubbery. 11 minutes gives tender whites and bright yellow yolks.
- 2.Ice bath immediately. Stops the cooking and makes peeling much easier. Don't skip.
- 3.Greek yogurt + a little mayo. Pure Greek yogurt tastes flat; pure mayo is too heavy. The combination is rich but lighter.
- 4.Fresh herbs are essential. Dried herbs don't have the brightness this dish needs. Dill and chives are non-negotiable.
🔬 Why It Works
Healthy egg salad solves the mayo problem (too heavy, too rich) by using Greek yogurt for body with just a touch of mayo for richness. Yogurt's tang amplifies the Dijon and lemon. Fresh herbs (especially dill) brighten the rich eggs. The wrap format makes this a portable lunch that travels well — a sandwich would go soggy faster. Capers add briny pops that elevate the whole dish.
