Preparation
- Cover the eggs with water in medium saucepan. Once the water is boiling, cover and turn the heat off.

Helpful hints
- For additional protein, Greek yogurt may be used in place of sour cream.
- If fresh dill weed is unavailable substitute with 1 teaspoon dried dill weed.
- If small pitas are not available serve with 1/2 of a large (6-1/2-inch) pita.
- Serve on a lettuce leaf or with 6 low sodium crackers instead of pita if desired.
- Keep this salad cold in an insulated bag if transporting to eat away from home.
