This egg salad made a lovely change from my
more usual salad offerings.
I boiled 5 eggs so that they would be just hard.
I have posted before
about the way I do this – I am sure others have even better ways but this
works for me.
When they are cool enough to handle, chop the eggs up
– I try to get both yolk and white into most pieces. Add ½ a red chilli
(finely diced), a chopped spring onion (scallion), a small amount of chopped
Italian parsley, 2 slices of red onion finely diced, some gherkin and capers
(chopped).
The dressing was a mix of
lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, mayonnaise and salt and pepper. I
won't try to give any quantities since I think the consistency of a mayo based
dressing is a very personal thing.
This salad went down a
storm with the better half!
I love a good egg salad and it's been awhile since I made one! Usually around Easter when I have an abundance of boiled eggs!
ReplyDeleteI’m like the red chili and gerkins, need to try it that way.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would be a nice change from green salads.
