Take a classic egg salad up a notch with this bold and flavorful curried egg salad recipe, packed with the rich taste of curry powder.
This easy recipe combines classic egg salad basics like celery and green onions, with a bit of curry powder’s savory, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor.
Crave-Worthy Curried Comfort
- Flavor: Curried egg salad is earthy, exotic, and slightly tangy.
- Difficulty: Curried egg salad is a quick and easy dish using basic ingredients and three steps that require minimal prep.
- Prep note: Use microwave hard boiled eggs for extra easy preparation and convenience.
- Serving suggestions: Enjoy in lettuce wraps, on low carb toast, with keto crackers, or as a filling.
- Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze this egg salad because the eggs and mayo will separate.
Curried Egg Salad Ingredients
Eggs: Older eggs will boil and peel better, but fresh eggs have the best flavor, so either will work. To check for freshness, place eggs in the water in preparation for hard boiling. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom; older eggs will stand on end and are still good to use. Expired eggs will float, and are best disposed of.
Mayonnaise: Go for full-fat mayo to deliver the best flavor and creamiest texture. Experiment with tangy-sweet Miracle Whip. A little Dijon mustard will complement the curry powder perfectly.
Cozy Creations To Try
- Bump up the crunch with diced radishes, red onions, or sunflower seeds.
- Flax, hemp, and chia seeds are protein boosters that won’t alter the flavor of egg salad but should be softened by soaking before adding.
- Cashews, poppy seeds, or sesame seeds will also add crunch, flavor, and texture.
- Popped mustard seeds, or toasted cumin seeds make delicious, nutty and earthy-flavored additions to curried dishes.
- Instead of a salad, consider making curried deviled eggs.
How To Make Egg Salad with Curry

Pointers for Curried Egg Salad Perfection
