Turmeric Egg Salad Ep. 38 | Life at the Table

Turmeric Egg Salad Not Your Grandmother&#8217;s Egg Salad A long held tradition is that the number of pleats in a traditional chef&#8217;s tocque, that tall, pleated white hat that chefs wear represents the number of ways that a chef can cook an egg which is 100. Eggs are delicious and I love them!  The simplest way to prepare an egg is  boiled.  In my previous post, I shared how to perfectly boil an egg, and as promised today&#8217;s topic is what to do with that beautifully boiled egg besides peel and eat with a bit of salt and pepper. Eggs have always been and always will be a part of my diet.  Each one is protein-packed and only 75 calories, if you&#8217;re counting.  I buy my eggs from a friend who raises chickens so they are extra tasty. So what&#8217;s not to love? Here&#8217;s one of the easiest and tastiest dishes to make with boiled eggs &#8211; egg salad. Sure you can spiff up egg salad with pickles, relish, and a little mustard.  But let&#8217;s be honest, while that approach might fill you up with egg deliciousness, it&#8217;s not likely to make you pine for a second sandwich really soon. Turmeric Egg Salad Here&#8217;s a new twist:  Turmeric Egg Salad.  It&#8217;s not your grandmother&#8217;s sandwich! It&#8217;s turmeric, paprika, a dash of cayenne, and onion powder, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and voila, you have just elevated the traditional egg salad into something you&#8217;ll crave. Serve it on your favorite piece of toasted bread, (I prefer a little crackle or crunch to my egg salad sandwich), or not if you prefer a more silky texture. And remember, great cooking does not have to be complex.  The secret is to make simple food taste really good.  That&#8217;s part of the joy of cooking and creating meals for life at the table.
