How to Make Curried Egg Salad
Hard Boil the Eggs
I’ll give you foolproof instructions in the recipe card below.
But, if you find yourself making hard boiled eggs regularly, I recommend buying an electric egg cooker. It’s an inexpensive tool that you can set and forget, and it guarantees perfect hard boiled eggs with zero effort from you.
Make the Dressing
Combine the mayo, curry powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dice up the scallions and stir them into the dressing.
Combine the Eggs and Dressing
Peel the hard boiled eggs and give them a rough chop. Then, fold them into the dressing until everything is well combined. Done and done!
How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
If you don’t have an electric egg cooker or Instant Pot, hard boiling eggs the old fashioned way is pretty easy.
Simply place your uncooked eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Then, cover the eggs with cold water so that there’s about 1 inch of water.
Now, watch for the water to boil. Once it does, turn the heat off and cover the saucepan.
After about 10 minutes, plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water and let them cool to room temperature.
They’ll be perfectly hard boiled and ready to peel and eat.
Serving Suggestions
1. Curried Egg Salad Sandwich: Make pretty little tea sandwiches with white or whole wheat bread. Cut the crusts off and cut the sandwich into quarters. Add a little crunch with cucumber slices or arugula leaves.
2. Curried Deviled Eggs: Fill hard-boiled egg whites with curried egg salad. Sprinkle with paprika for a pretty presentation.
3. High Protein Salad: Place a large scoop of curried egg salad over a bed of crisp lettuce for a low carb meal.
