For me, this is the Best Egg Salad Recipe I’ve ever made. And probably the simplest!
If you notice, I indicate the curry powder as optional. The reason is that some people have restrictions regarding curry, but this is precisely the reason why I think this is the best egg salad recipe around!
It’s great when you crave something light and filling at the same time, for lunch, with a green leaf salad, or as a sandwich. My girls like egg salad sandwiches for snack, when they come back from school.
This recipe can be made in advance. Just store it covered in the fridge.
