Curried Egg Salad
Curried Egg Salad
I have long known that it is great to make EXTRA of whatever you are making that evening. It is called leftovers. I love leftovers. So many dishes taste even better the next day. The second benefit of making extra is not having to cook again the next day. This is particularly helpful for those of us that work full time. However, the coolest by product of making extra is when you make a SAUCE or marinade. Having extra sauce encourages you, forces you to be creative and develop new recipes. This Curried Egg Salad is one of these types of creations.
I made the base for this curry sauce a few months ago. When I first made the sauce, I used it for my Yellow Curry Lentils and Chicken Curry. I also came up with Yellow Curry Mashed Potatoes and Chicken Curry Milanese. I froze the rest of the sauce and the first creation from the thawed sauce is this Curried Egg Salad. I LOVE the curry flavor of this sauce. It goes so well with so many different things. I really liked it with the mashed potatoes and it is great with this egg salad. The other nuance I developed with this dish was to dice the vegetables really small. This small dice contrasted nicely with a thick dice for the eggs. I used celery which is pretty traditional with an egg salad. I also used a red bell pepper for flavor, color and texture.
The first meal that I had with it, I just ate it right out of the bowl. The next day, I put it on some toast with some purple cabbage. The sandwich had really good texture from the toast and the cabbage. I love the color contrast with the purple cabbage.
- 6 hard boiled eggs, rough dice
- 1 stalk of celery, small dice
- 1/4 of a red bell pepper, small dice
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons yellow curry sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and yellow curry sauce and mix well. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, celery and red pepper. Mix gently.
- Next, add the curry mayonnaise and mix until all the eggs are covered.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
The egg salad and vegetable dice, and then, the curry sauce added.
The final dish plated, and then, presented as a sandwich.

I love the idea of making egg salad. It sounds interesting and looks yummy! 🙂
Thx. It is a nice twist on the traditional recipe.
I love the idea of curry and egg salad! I’m not sure if my computer is reading the color tone right, but is it more of a green or a yellow?
It is yellow but my wife said the same thing. I am not exactly sure where that is coming from but maybe, the angle of the light.
This looks very flavourful! My mom would love this.
Thx Bella.
LOVING the spin with the curry on this egg salad. Also, it looks gorgeous paired with the purple cabbage. I’ve never thought of adding red peppers to my egg salad either. This is definitely a must try. Thanks for the recipe!
Thx Taylor. I love to add color and texture into my recipes.
I love curry, so I’m pretty sure I would adore this egg salad. Definitely going to give it a go! Thanks for the tip!
Please let me know if you do try it and you like it.
This flavor combination sounds amazing! I need to have more curry in my life…I definitely don’t have it enough. This would be a great way to add it! Thanks!
And the turmeric is very healthy for you too.
Great recipe! Curry is a fantastic herb!
It has so much flavor.
Yummy, this has my name written all over it, I have a variation of this which I serve in a jacket potato – nothing better:-)
I like that idea. I thought about doing that too. Will definitely need to try that one.
I could eat egg salad till the cows come home. I am liking the curry spin.
Do you have many cows around where you live? LOL
Curry goes so well with eggs and this is one of my favorite dishes.
Have you made this before or did you cook your eggs?
