Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings: 2
Course: Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 tsp yellow mustard
  • ½ cup celery diced
  • 2 sprigs green onion diced
  • 1 tbsp relish
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. To start we need to boil the eggs. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and carefully place eggs in the pot. Boil for 10-11 minutes then remove. Set into a bowl of ice water and set in the fridge to cool for a few minutes.
  2. While the eggs are cooling, chop the celery and green onions.
  3. In a mixing bowl mix together the cottage cheese, celery, green onion, mustard, celery salt, and relish. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces, this does not have to be precise. Add the chopped eggs into the cottage cheese mix.
  4. Taste and add more salt or pepper as needed. I added some cayenne to give mine a kick because I love spice in everything.
  5. Serve with crackers or as an egg salad sandwich on your favorite bread. Enjoy!
