🥚 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

High in Protein: Eggs + Greek yogurt make this a satisfying, protein-packed dish.
🥒 Low in Carbs: Cucumber boats keep it light and refreshing.
🌿 Flavor-Packed: Curry, dill, and Dijon create a balanced mix of spice and tang.
🍱 Meal-Prep Friendly: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.


🔪 How to Make It

1️⃣ Boil the Eggs

Bring water to a gentle boil and add your eggs. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, then transfer to cold water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, peel and chop finely.

2️⃣ Make the Egg Salad

In a medium mixing bowl, combine:

  • Chopped eggs
  • Mayonnaise
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Curry powder
  • Dijon mustard
  • Fresh dill
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Mash and mix everything with a fork until you get a creamy, well-combined texture. 🥄

3️⃣ Assemble the Cucumber Boats

Halve your cucumbers lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create “boats.”
Spoon in the curry egg salad mixture, filling each one generously.
Garnish with a sprinkle of curry powder or chopped dill for a pop of color. 🌿


💡 Tips for the Best Flavor

  • Start with less curry powder if you prefer milder spice—then adjust.
  • Chill the salad before serving for a refreshing bite.
  • Not in a low-carb mood? Use the egg salad in sandwiches or wraps too! 🥪

Serve these cucumber boats as:

  • A light lunch or snack
