Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs, boiled
  • 1 stalk celery
  • ½ small apple
  • 2 stalks green onion
  • 3 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp mustard (optional)
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Boil eggs; you can do this by placing the eggs on the stove in a pot filled with cold water, then boil them for 10 minutes when the water starts boiling, and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. You can also just place the eggs into a pot with already boiling water and give them about 12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath.
  • Once the eggs have cooled down, peel the eggs; then chop or mash the eggs depending on how smooth you would like your egg salad.
  • Chop your other ingredients for the salad - celery, apple, green onion, and parsley. You can make it as fine or as coarsely chopped as you would like!
  • Add the chopped ingredients and the eggs to a bowl along with the mayonnaise, sour cream, curry powder, garlic powder, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix together well.
  • Taste and adjust for seasonings - you can add more salt and pepper if needed, or more lemon juice, just bearing in mind that the more liquid you add, the runnier the egg salad will be.
  • Serve on bread - sandwich bread, rye bread, or crisp bread are all great options! Save in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
