EGG SALAD WITH A TWIST



Egg Salad With a Twist image

I was challenged to an Egg Salad "Cook Off" by another Zaar chef. So here is my recipe. It's a little saucy so if you want it less saucy just add less of the Mayo and olive juice. You can eat this on crackers or as a sandwich. It's very easy to make. Since olive juice has salt in it, I did not add more salt to the recipe. I have a sensitivity to pepper so I did not add that either. You can add both if you want to. Prep time includes the time for boiling the eggs. Cook time is refrigeration time. Times are approximate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic eggs and flavorful mayonnaise will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Choose mayonnaise made with olive oil or avocado oil for a healthier option.
  • Hard-boil your eggs perfectly: To prevent overcooked, rubbery eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you like them. Drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are cool to the touch. This will stop the cooking process and prevent the yolks from turning green.
  • Chop your eggs finely: This will help the salad to have a smooth, creamy texture. You can use a knife or a food processor to chop the eggs.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: The possibilities are endless! Some popular options include chopped celery, red onion, pickles, avocado, bacon, and cheese. You can also add herbs like dill, parsley, or chives for extra flavor.
  • Make the salad ahead of time: Egg salad can be made up to 3 days in advance. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Egg salad is a classic dish that is both versatile and delicious. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you like your salad simple or loaded with mix-ins, this timeless dish is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg salad a try.
