Although I omitted the nuts (for those who simply cannot tolerate them), this is a tremendously flavorful egg salad that will quickly remind you of that classic Waldorf salad. If you are having issues with your children trying egg salad for the first time, this just may be a way to open that stubborn door for you.
Curried Waldorf Egg SaladINGREDIENTS
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon lime juice2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons honey or Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper6-8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 cup chopped apple1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 rib minced celery1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
INSTRUCTIONSSimply whisk the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. In another, larger bowl, combine the remaining ingredients well and pour in the mayonnaise mixture, tossing to combine well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before piling onto your choice of bread or rolls.
Enough for 3-4 good sized sandwiches.
