Healthy Egg Salad With Arugula No, "healthy egg salad" isn't an oxymoron -- and this clever recipe is great for fighting skin redness from rosacea and sunburn. By replacing mayo with healthy Greek yogurt, as this recipe does, you benefit from the redness-soothing effects of probiotics. Tomatoes and eggs are excellent dietary sources of vitamin A, which is crucial to healthy skin-cell growth. (Retinoids and certain acne medications contain a concentrated form of vitamin A.) Eggs are also high in zinc, an anti-inflammatory, and lutein, which protects against sun damage.

Ingredients
4 hard-boiled eggs, plus 2 hard-boiled egg whites
3/4 cup diced celery (about 3 medium stalks)
1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Whole grain bread, toasted (for 4 open faced sandwiches)
Arugula, tomato, additional chopped fresh dill for serving

Directions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs, and cut into a rough dice. Place in a large mixing bowl. Then, add the celery, Greek yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper and dill. Stir to combine. Serve the egg salad on toasted bread with tomatoes and arugula, or enjoy atop greens for a healthy salad.
