Chef's Note

This egg salad stays fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator! For the best texture, pack the pita separately and assemble just before eating, or toast the pita lightly for added crunch.

Ingredients
  • 12 pieces large eggs

  • 120 g plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 3 tbsp fresh dill

  • 4 stalks green onions

  • 1 piece lemon

  • 300 g whole wheat pita pockets

Instructions
  • 1

    Place 12 large eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.

  • 2

    While the eggs cook, finely chop 3 tbsp fresh dill and thinly slice 4 green onions, keeping the white and light green parts. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

  • 3

    Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool completely and stop the cooking process.

  • 4

    Gently tap each egg all over and peel under cool running water. Pat the peeled eggs dry with paper towels.

  • 5

    Chop all 12 eggs into small, uniform pieces (about 1/4-inch cubes) and add to the bowl with the dill and green onions.

  • 6

    Add 120g plain Greek yogurt and 2 tsp Dijon mustard to the chopped eggs. Cut 1 lemon in half and squeeze the juice directly into the bowl.

  • 7

    Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Gently fold all ingredients together until evenly combined, being careful not to mash the eggs.

  • 8

    Divide the egg salad evenly among 6 meal-prep containers (approximately 180g per serving). Add 50g whole wheat pita pockets to each container.

  • 9

    Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Serve cold or at room temperature, stuffing the egg salad into the pita pockets.
