If you love the creamy texture of egg salad but want a lighter twist, this recipe is perfect for you. Using only the egg whites, it’s fresh, healthy, and just as delicious as the classic version.
Start by heating some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg substitute and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s fully set—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked egg substitute to a plate and pop it in the fridge to chill while you get the other ingredients ready.
When the egg substitute is nice and cool, combine it in a bowl with the chopped egg whites, mashed potato, mayonnaise, green onions, celery, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a good mix until it’s well blended and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then you’re ready to serve!
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and taste.
- Chop the whites finely to help the dressing stick better.
- Add a pinch of salt while boiling to make peeling easier.
