My Meatless Mondays - Egg Salad With Curry and Cilantro

 A simple meal that can be used any time, any meal is egg salad, served on a sandwich or in a salad and is easy to make is egg salad.  This one comes from my Weight Watchers' New Complete Cookbook.  I have had this book for a while but have not used it.  Looking through it, I think that there is potential, in these recipes.  The egg salad was certainly worth making.

The curry is the secret ingredient.  If you choose to use curry powder, in place of the sauce, use 1 1/2 teaspoons.

You won't many recipes, easier than this.  Hint - When I boil the eggs, I put the eggs in the pot, cover with cold water, heat until boiling.  Turn off and let sit for 10 minutes.  Voila - hard boiled eggs.

Egg Salad with Cilantro and Curry  (adapted from Weight Watchers)

Ingredients:


5 hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon curry sauce
 black pepper to taste

Method:

Chop or grate eggs.  I put them through a ricer and it makes a difference.
Add remaining ingredients to eggs and mix so the ingredients are well blended.
Eat and enjoy.

  1. Your egg salad sound delicious, Chaya. My late Mom always added curry powder to her egg salad and it gives it a lovely zing! This week I've shared a Vegetarian BLT. Thank you so much for hosting.

  2. Chaya,
    Your egg salad recipe is perfect for me. I'm on WW and love egg salad. Can't wait to try that curry for a little different twist. Nice presentation and photo as well.
    I linked a Weight Watchers oatmeal that doesn't need cooking. You just mix it and place in the refrigerator overnight. It's the perfect serving for one and tastes luxurious and creamy! 4 points
