Curried Egg Salad Ingredients
This is such an easy recipe. All you need are a few basic pantry staples you might already have.
- Eggs: Perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs give that trademark chunky texture.
- Green Onion: Use both the green and white parts of the green onion.
- Grated Carrots: A great way to sneak in extra veggies and it pairs well with the curry powder.
- Curry Powder: This blend of eleven spices adds earthy depth and a beautiful golden color.
- Mayonnaise: Egg salads are meant to be creamy and mayonnaise pulls it all together.
- Parsley: A bit of parsley adds a pop of green and fresh flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: Just a little sprinkle is all you need for extra seasoning.
Ingredient swap: If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, give this a try with Greek yogurt. It’s a delicious, creamy alternative!
Raw pink Himalayan salt crystals is unlike common table salt which can be a highly refined industrial byproduct, otherwise know as sodium chloride. Himalayan salt is completely pure and may naturally balance the bodys alkaline/acidity and regulate water content. In addition Himalayan salt helps in the absorption of nutrients from food and contains many trace minerals for healthy cell structure. I purchase fine pink Himalayan crystal salt so I can use it in my shaker and for cooking.
