How to Hard-Boil Eggs at Home
I highly recommend hard-boiling the eggs ahead of time for this recipe. Here is how to hard-boil eggs perfectly:
- Add the eggs to a pot: Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water.
- Boil: Bring the water to a boil over high heat. You should see bubbles bursting at the surface of the water.
- Let the eggs cook: Turn off the heat. Then, cover with a tight-fitting lid and allow the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool: Drain and then run cold water over the eggs, to prevent them from cooking any further.
After your eggs have been boiled, cooled, and peeled, the rest of this recipe is an absolute breeze.
How to Make Curried Egg Salad
To make this easy curried egg salad recipe, simply:
- Prep the eggs, celery, and green onions: Chop up your peeled boiled eggs, celery and green onions. Then add them to a serving bowl.
- Mix everything together: Stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper.
- Garnish and serve: To make your egg salad look extra tempting when you are serving it, sprinkle some chopped fresh cilantro and/or chopped cashews over top.

How to Serve Curried Egg Salad
You can either serve this egg salad on its own or on toast and greens as open-faced sandwiches. To serve it as open-faced sandwiches, simply toast some bread slices, place a layer of greens on each piece of toast, and top evenly with egg salad.
For greens, I recommend using either lettuce, arugula, Swiss chard, or spinach. Layering some greens between the bread and the egg salad is important, because doing so helps keep the bread from absorbing liquid from the egg salad and becoming soggy.
