Steps for preparing the egg salad
Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water. Put on the stove and, when the water starts to boil, cook for about 7-8 minutes. After the time has passed, drain them and immerse them in cold water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, peel and cut them into pieces.
Slice a red onion. Place it in a bowl, add salt and vinegar, and let it rest for 30 minutes. After the time has passed, drain and lightly rinse them. Also, chop the herbs of your choice.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and yogurt. Add it to the egg pieces, add the herbs, the onion, and mix. Let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.
Storage
You can store the egg salad in the fridge for one day.
