Amazing Summer Egg Salad Recipes

SUMMER EGG SALAD WITH BASIL & PEAS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of simmering water for 5 mins. Add the beans and cook 5 mins more, then tip in the peas and cook for 2 mins until all the vegetables are just tender. Meanwhile, boil the eggs in another pan for 8 mins. Drain and run under cold water, then carefully shell and halve.
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a large bowl with a good grinding of black pepper, crushing the herbs and capers with the back of a spoon to intensify their flavours.
• Mix the warm vegetables into the dressing to coat, then add the lettuce and toss everything together. Pile onto plates, top with the eggs and grind over some black pepper to serve.

THE BEST EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Add the eggs to a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes. Take the eggs out of the water and let cool.
• Peel and chop the eggs and add them to a medium sized bowl. Add mayonnaise, dill, chives, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread on bread or use with your favorite crackers.

AMAZING SUMMER EGG SALAD

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your ingredients.
• Chef's Note: I apologize for the lack of step-by-step photos. I was making this dish for a lady's group Sunday brunch. I did, however, manage to get the finished result... Anyway, it came out so yummy that I just had to post it.
• Chef's Note: To bake the garlic, wrap it in parchment paper with a bit of olive oil, and place into a 325f (160c) oven, for fifteen minutes, remove, and allow to cool.
• Chop the hard-boiled eggs, chunky style.
• Chef's Tip: You might want to remove the shells from the eggs before chopping. That is unless you like crunchy egg salad.
• Add all the ingredients, except the eggs in a large bowl, and mix thoroughly.
• Add the chopped eggs.
• Gently toss until the eggs are completely coated.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-hour before serving.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve on a large lettuce leaf, and sprinkle with a bit of sweet paprika. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
