Green beans, tuna and olives make this Niçoise-style egg salad recipe substantial. Serve it over salad greens.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 8 hard-boiled eggs (see Tip)
  • 1 5- to 6-ounce can chunk-light tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup chopped cooked green beans
  • 3 tablespoons chopped Niçoise or Kalamata olives

Directions

  • 1. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, onion, vinegar, pepper and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Halve eggs and discard 4 of the yolks (or save for another use). Add whites and the remaining 4 yolks to the bowl and mash to desired consistency. Gently stir in tuna, green beans and olives.
  • Tip: To hard-boil eggs, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and cover the eggs with ice-cold water. Let stand until cool enough to handle before peeling.
  • To Make Ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
