High-Protein Egg Salad Platter🥚

Honestly, standard egg salad can feel a bit repetitive, but adding different textures and a punchy dressing completely elevates the meal. It neatly pairs a hard-boiled egg, creamy cottage cheese, and a double-mustard blend with a crisp, vibrant radish side salad. It is an incredibly satisfying, high-protein combination that takes just minutes to prep and keeps you full for hours! 😉

Ingredients
  

  • 1 slice of bread
Egg Salad
  • 1 egg (hard boiled)
  • 1 medium finely chopped pickled cucumber
  • ~1 tsp of the pickle juice
  • ~2 tbsp cottage cheese
  • ~1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or mayo)
  • ~1 tsp whole grain mustard
  • ~1/4 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ~1/4 tsp honey
  • fresh dill, salt and pepper to taste
Salad
  • 1 handful lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 thinly sliced radish
  • ~3 cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • plus fresh peas on the side

Method
 

  1. Egg Salad: Chop your hard-boiled egg and pickled cucumber into tiny pieces and place them in a small bowl. Add the pickle juice, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (or mayo), whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper, then mix until completely combined.
    2. Stellka’s Tip: You can easily adjust the consistency or flavor of this egg salad to match your exact mood! If you want it a bit creamier, toss in an extra spoonful of yogurt or cottage cheese. I personally love it when the salad tastes a bit tangier, so I always add an extra splash of pickle juice from the jar for that perfect punchy flavor! 😉
  2. The Salad: Into a bowl (or onto your plate) toss together the lettuce, thinly sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
  3. The Toast: Toast your bread slice until perfectly golden.
  4. Assemble: Spread your fresh egg salad generously across the warm toast. Place the toast right next to your side salad on the plate, then top everything with fresh peas! Enjoy😉
