Every Easter we boil tons of eggs for the kiddos to color and leave out for the Easter bunny to hide. After all of the eggs have been found, I’m aways looking for ways to make good use of all of those hard boiled eggs. If you’re in the same boat as me or just simply need a really tasty lunch, this curried egg salad is a must try!

HOW TO MAKE CURRIED EGG SALAD:

Once you have boiled eggs, this recipe could not be easier! It’s as simple as mixing some ingredients in a bowl.

If I’m really in a hurry, I buy eggs that have already been boiled. If you’re boiling your own eggs, follow my tips below.

This curried egg salad recipe is very forgiving, so feel free to leave any ingredients out that you aren’t particularly fond of or don’t have on hand. You can also add in any ingredients that you think would make a great addition.

HOW TO BOIL EGGS FOR EGG SALAD:

Having hard boiled eggs on hand for a quick breakfast or salads could not be easier. This foolproof stove top method for boiling eggs works perfect every time.

My method is simple, cover the eggs with water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Once the water boils you remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered for 20 minutes. The steam cooks the eggs resulting in perfectly cooked eggs with no cracks. Then simply drain, run under cold water and peel.

NOTES ON MAKING CURRIED EGG SALAD:

  • I used Greek Yogurt in this egg salad, but you can substitute with reduced-fat mayonnaise, regular mayo or even Miracle Whip. I’ve also made this with a combination of mayo and Greek yogurt.
  • In this recipe, I used a 6 ounce container of Fage Greek Yogurt. If you want a creamier egg salad use more yogurt.
  • Feel free to use 1/4 cup of celery instead of the green onion for a tiny bit more crunch. You can also leave both out, if you prefer a smoother version.
  • Add in any ingredients you think would be tasty! Wouldn’t some finely diced red pepper or even some creamy avocado be fabulous?! A drizzle of sriracha would be great, too, for a spicy kick!
  • Serve this as an egg salad sandwich, as a lettuce wrap, open-face on some toast, over a bed of greens or with some crackers and raw veggies.
  • This egg salad will keep well, covered, in the fridge for about 3 days.
