Alisande's egg salad recipe
Alisande, thank you for posting the recipe for curried egg salad. We had it for dinner last night and it was so good I don't think I'll make regular egg salad ever again. The apple gives it a little crunch and sweetens the curry. We had it on croissants last night but tonight I'll toast them on regular bread.
If you missed it and want to try it, here is her recipe:
CURRIED EGG SALAD (Alisande@KT)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (half of one lime)
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 � teaspoons whole grain or Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne
6 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
1 cup diced Granny Smith apple (roughly 1 apple)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
8 slices wheat bread
Lettuce for garnish (optional)
Mix together the mayo, lime juice, curry powder, mustard, salt and cayenne. In a separate bowl, add together the chopped eggs, apple and onion. Pour the curry dressing over top and gently stir everything together. Serve on toasted wheat bread with lettuce, or just eat it with a fork as it is.

Sounds good, I am going to give it a try.
Oh, I'm glad you liked it! I made it for a party before Christmas, and again on Christmas for my family. Everyone was complimentary!
I have never tasted Curry. Is it hot (spicy)? If so, I would probably out less in.
I love curry!
Can't wait to make it!
Dotmom, it isn't hot and spicy in this recipe, but you could start with less if you like. Curry loves something sweet as a condiment, and the apple fills this nicely. Curry is actually a mixture of spices. I have several different kinds in my pantry, including a couple bought at an Asian market. But my favorite is McCormick's.
Have you smelled curry, at least? I hope you'll like it well enough to make other curried dishes.
Thanks, Alisande,,,,,no I've never been exposed to it at all, but have been curious. I have the makings for this recipe on my grocery shopping list. I'll be sure to look for McCormicks Curry.
I love it in apple salad with celery and walnuts, too. I used to have a great recipe for curried meatballs, but I've lost it. I'd sure like to make them again.
That's really funny because I just finished making the exact same egg salad recipe to bring to my NYE party tonight. I got the recipe off the internet about 2 weeks ago. I licked the spoon and it was pretty darn good. Not spicy at all. Will put on bread just before leaving the house.
I make a curried chicken salad that is delish. I got the recipe from a friend's mother and I've used it for years--long enough that I don't refer to the recipe anymore. Y'all know how that goes!
