Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs by placing them in a saucepan covered with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and let sit covered for 10-12 minutes. Cool under cold water and peel.
  2. While the eggs cool, chop the celery and red onion.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped celery, and red onion. Chop the cooled eggs and add them to the mixture.
  4. Stir in Dijon mustard, season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix gently to avoid mashing the eggs.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
