Curried egg salad

Use any type of onion you like here, I've done this version of egg salad using yellow, white, and in this version I had a tiny red one on hand, so I grabbed for that.

Ingredients

• 5 good quality eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder (your favorite)
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 big pinches of salt

• ½ small onion, chopped
• ½ medium apple, chopped
• ¼ cup pecans, toasted and chopped
• 1 small bunch of chives, minced

Directions

• First off, you need to boil the eggs properly (the key to good egg salad!). Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a ½-inch or so. Bring to a gentle boil. Now turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly seven minutes. Have a big bowl of ice water ready and when the eggs are done cooking and place them in the ice bath for three minutes or so - long enough to stop the cooking.

• While the eggs are boiling and cooling, combine the yogurt, curry powder and salt in a tiny bowl. Set aside.

• Crack and peel each egg, and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the curried yogurt, onions, apple, pecans, and chives. Now mash with a fork. Don't overdo it, you want the egg mixture to have some texture. If you need to add a bit more plain yogurt to moisten up the mixture a bit, go for it a bit at a time. taste and add more salt if needed. Enjoy as-is, or served wrapped in lettuce or between two slices of good, toasted bread.

Serves 3-4.
