Apple Horseradish Egg Salad

In my research, I've found tons of recipes for curried egg salad...but never something as radical as apple horseradish egg salad. It's spicy, rich with a hint of onion flavor and herbs. I hope you enjoy this unique combination as much as I have. Plus, I've made it all the more healthful by substituting Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. Enjoy!
