Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (or more for extra creaminess)
1/2 cup grated carrot (from one small carrot)
1 green onion (sliced)
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbs chopped parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Then turn the heat to low so there's no bubbles. Use a skimmer to slowly and gently place the eggs in the pot. Turn the heat back to high and boil the eggs for 12-14 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and cool.
  • Once your eggs are cool to touch, peel and discard the eggs shells.
  • Cut the hard boiled eggs to your desired size (I prefer chunky).
  • Add the eggs, mayonnaise, grated carrots, green onion, curry powder, salt and pepper to bowl and stir all ingredients together. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • Serve on its own or in a wrap or sandwich and enjoy!

CURRIED EGG SALAD



Curried Egg Salad image

Here is a recipe our colleague Jeff Gordinier got from the New York chef Jesse Schenker in the process of writing an article about Mr. Schenker's efforts to lose weight. It is for a much lighter version of the egg salad you may ordinarily make, with Greek yogurt standing in for mayonnaise and a number of egg yolks held back from the finished dish. But it is important to note that you don't have to do that. You can make this dish with all the yolks if you like, and pile the result into the midst of a green salad or on top of a roll, and you'll have a fine meal indeed.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your curried olive egg salad taste its best.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are hard-boiled, about 10 minutes.
  • Chop the eggs finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a variety of olives. Different types of olives will add different flavors and textures to your salad. Try using a combination of black, green, and Kalamata olives.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Curry powder is a classic ingredient in curried olive egg salad, but you can also try adding other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep the flavors fresh and bright.

Conclusion:

Curried olive egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a sandwich, salad, or appetizer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give curried olive egg salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
