If you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, this egg salad is the perfect choice. Ideal for using up leftover boiled eggs from holidays, this recipe will delight your taste buds and bring a touch of freshness to your table. A well-made egg salad can be an excellent choice for brunch, a snack, or even a light meal. Let's get started!

Necessary Ingredients:
- 10 boiled eggs
- 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt (you can use Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)
- 1 bunch of green onions (just the green part)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- bread (for toasting)

Step 1: Preparing the Eggs
Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt, which will help coagulate the proteins, making them easier to peel. Boil for 10-12 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them quickly.

Step 2: Chopping the Ingredients
Once the eggs have cooled, carefully peel them and chop them finely. You can use a sharp knife or an egg slicer to achieve an even cut. While you’re working with the eggs, finely chop the green onions and parsley, adding extra flavor and color to the salad.

Step 3: Preparing the Dressing
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the yogurt. This combination will make the salad easier to digest and provide a creamy texture. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous compound. You can adjust the proportions of mayonnaise and yogurt according to your personal preferences; for example, for a healthier salad, add more yogurt.

Step 4: Assembling the Salad
In a large bowl, add the chopped eggs, green onions, and parsley. Pour the mayonnaise and yogurt dressing over the eggs and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to crush the eggs too much. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Chilling
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill for 30 minutes. This step is essential to allow the flavors to combine and intensify.

Step 6: Serving
To serve, toast slices of bread until golden and crispy. You can use white, whole grain, or even baguettes. Generously place the egg salad on the toasted slices of bread. Optionally, you can add slices of tomatoes or cucumbers for a touch of freshness.

Personal Suggestion: For an even more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise dressing. Additionally, the egg salad can be easily adapted; you can add chopped olives, bell peppers, or even a bit of feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

This egg salad is not only a delicious appetizer but also an excellent way to use available ingredients. Enjoy!
