Step 1
Start by heating a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg substitute and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s fully set—this should take about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked egg substitute to a plate and pop it in the fridge to chill. When it’s cool, grab a bowl and mix together the chilled egg substitute, chopped egg whites, mashed potato, mayo, green onions, celery, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir until it’s all nicely combined and creamy.
Why you’ll love it
This dish offers a lighter take on a classic favorite by leaving out the yolks, making it lower in fat and calories. It’s perfect for those who want the creamy texture and protein of egg whites without the richness of yolks. Plus, it’s still packed with flavor and easy to prepare.
How to serve
Serve this salad chilled on whole-grain bread or crisp lettuce leaves for a refreshing lunch. It also pairs well with crunchy vegetables like celery or cucumber for a light snack. A sprinkle of fresh herbs such as dill or chives adds a nice touch.
Storage & leftovers
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 2-3 days to maintain freshness. Stir gently before serving, as some liquid may separate over time.
