Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

2 tablespoons celery, finely diced

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of Romaine lettuce (or butter lettuce), leaves separated

Optional: 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped (for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: Once the eggs are cool, peel and chop them into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped eggs, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, celery, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Taste and Adjust: Give the egg salad a taste, adjusting the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. If you’re using capers, fold them in at this stage for an added burst of flavor.

        Assemble the Lettuce Boats: Take the Romaine lettuce leaves and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Spoon a generous portion of the egg salad mixture into each lettuce leaf, creating a delightful boat-shaped serving.

          Serve: Arrange the lettuce boats on a serving platter. Optional garnishes include additional chopped chives or sliced cherry tomatoes on top for a pop of color. Enjoy these refreshing and healthy egg salad lettuce boats immediately or chill for a bit before serving!
