Curried Egg Salad Ingredients
I always have the ingredients on hand (which is useful given the surplus of eggs I often get from our chickens). As well as eggs, I use this combination of ingredients that gives this curried egg salad its distinctive flavor:
- Mayonnaise and Dijon mustard: to make it a creamy, fatty and fresh egg salad.
- For spice: I use sambal and curry powder.
- Fresh herbs: in this salad I used chopped onion, chives and parsley for some freshness and texture.

FAQ Curried Egg Salad
How long can I keep the salad?
When stored airtight, you can store the egg salad for up to 3-5 in the refrigerator. Always smell and taste test when in doubt.
For how long do I cook the eggs?
For about 8 minutes, so the yolk is slightly set.
Can I make it less spicy?
Absolutely, I would start by omitting the sambal and maybe adding a bit after testing the spiciness from just the curry powder.
