A 'Grate' Cilantro-Curry Egg Salad


In a medium bowl, GRATE the eggs and combine with these ingredients:


3 hardboiled - steamed eggs*

*If - like me, you've had trouble peeling hardboiled eggs you made a couple days ago and chilled - gently crack them, then gently squeeze them while in a pan of cool water.  Leave them a couple minutes.  The shells will come off so nicely!  In soaking, the water gets between the egg and the membrane, making peeling e.a.s.y. !


1-2t coriander (cilantro) chutney
~ this stuff is spicy--start small
2-3T grated sweet or dill pickle
some finely chopped bell pepper
3 celery ribs - minced-diced
1t med-hot curry powder
1t mild seasoned pepper
3T finely minced chives
mayonnaise**


Gently mix well then chill a half hour or so, to bring out all the flavors. Today I used only mayonnaise, but I've used mayo-sour cream, at about a 50-50 ratio.  **IF I had thought of it, I would have done a mayo-plain Greek yogurt combination today.  Yogurt and curry are a great duo, especially with a drizzle of fresh lime juice!  Today  I used the amount shown, then drizzled in about 1T of pickle juice.  Worked well and tasted spicy and savory 😋





Serve in a pita, roll in a tortilla - add crumbled bacon for a breakfast burrito, make into a soft white bread sandwich -or- my current favorite, spread it on seedy-nutty-grainy Norwegian Crispbread. . .

This was SO good for lunch today!!  Lin
