Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

- 1-2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion, or chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeños (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Bagels or toast for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Peel hardboiled eggs well and give them a gentle rinse, if needed. Chop up the eggs into small pieces and add them to a medium sized mixing bowl. I like to make mine pretty small so that they blend well with the cottage cheese.
- Next, add the cottage cheese to the bowl, along with the remaining egg salad ingredients (red onion, dill, parsley, green onion, jalapeno, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
- Give everything a good mix, until completely combined, and adjust any seasonings, as needed. Enjoy cottage cheese egg salad by itself or on top of toast or a bagel. Serve with a side of fruit for a healthy and nutritious breakfast.
