Tips for the Best Egg Salad
Add a pinch of curry powder. There is one additional ingredient that can give your egg salad a distinct spark, and that’s an addition of yellow curry powder. Not only does the curry powder provide your sandwich with eggs an enticing spicy kick, but it also gives the sandwich a little more color.
Mayo or no Mayo? You can substitute the mayonnaise used in the egg salad sandwich by adding a ripe avocado; if you choose to do this, you’ll need to add lemon juice or vinegar to create an acidic component and then add the salt you think you would. I like my egg salad sandwich to have a substantial quantity of mayonnaise. However, the amount of mayonnaise you use is an issue of personal flavor.
