Greek Egg Salad

 

There's really not something totally Greek about this! If you've ever been to a Greek Easter celebration, then you've experienced the cracking of the eggs. After the traditional part is done, most people don't eat them since they've already been stuffed with so much food already. So, what do you do with a large hoard of hard boiled eggs? You mike egg salad...kinda pink egg salad...Greek egg salad. Okay, so not much makes it Greek other than the fact that you can see the eggs were very red. I threw in some Tzatziki since I use a predominantly yogurt base anyways...I guess now its Greek-er!

1 1/2 dozen hard boiled eggs (Greek ones will be red)

2 Tbsp mayonnaise

2 Tbsp Miracle Whip

1 Tbsp Tzatziki

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

mixed up salt (to taste)

Peel your eggs. This can be a job in itself depending on how broken they got. I find  that putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds will make your life a bit easier for peeling. I thought of trying the Pinterest "baking soda trick" when boiling them but I'm too afraid it will mess with the egg dying. 

Once the eggs are all peeled, cut them in half the long way and then into bite sized pieces!

Someone at my Greek Easter celebration apparently got a truly lucky egg indeed! 2 yolks! Pretty rare!

 

(Did I ever mention how much I love my glass cook top as a cutting board?)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, Miracle Whip, mayo, and Tzatziki. Add in the eggs and mix well. Add the salt to taste. If you have any large chunks, you can use a knife to cut them up and mix them a little better by just slicing randomly through the mixture.
