Remember as you are serving this egg salad recipe that as egg salad sits at room temperature the dressing will loosen. To prevent this you should serve them immediately or consider using less dressing and more eggs to make a firmer egg salad consistency.

CURRIED EGG SALAD FAQS

• How do you boil an egg? Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water covering them by 1 inch and bring the water to a simmer. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat and let sit for 8 minutes. Remove the eggs and place in an ice water bath before peeling.
• How long should I boil eggs? To make hard boiled eggs, cook for 8 minutes. For soft boiled eggs, cook them for 5 minutes.
• How do you boil eggs so they peel easy? Peel the eggs right after they come out of the ice bath otherwise it might be difficult to get the shell off. Salt the water when you’re boiling the eggs, this helps them peel easily when they’re done.
• Can egg salad with mayo be frozen? No. Dishes made with mayo, like deli salads, do not keep a good consistency if frozen and then thawed. Eggs also do not freeze and thaw well. It’s best to make this dish fresh or up to 3 days ahead of time.

HOW LONG IS CURRIED EGG SALAD GOOD?

• Serve: You shouldn’t leave your Curried Egg Salad out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
• Store: Keep your Curried Egg Salad in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Be sure to keep it properly stored in an airtight container (you should also do this as the smell of curry and eggs is something to be considerate of if you are bringing this dish to the office).
• Freeze: I do not recommend freezing any Egg Salad dish.
