Egg Salad With Spring Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Put shallots in a small bowl. Add mustard, vinegar, 3 tablespoons lemon juice and the garlic. Stir together, and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the walnut oil. Set aside for a few minutes, then taste and adjust lemon juice and salt.
• Wash and dry the salad greens. Tear large leaves into smaller pieces, if desired. Wrap in a clean towel and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
• Just before serving salad, put beet wedges in the bottom of a wide salad bowl. Add the radish, turnip and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Add dill, tarragon and half of the vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat.
• Add the salad greens and combine to distribute sliced vegetables evenly. Cut eggs in halves or quarters, and arrange over salad. Scatter walnuts over the top. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid and let sit for 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Drain and submerge the eggs in the ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Peel the eggs. Chop into 1/4-inch dice and place in another large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, turmeric, the 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Gently stir together. If the egg salad looks too dry, stir in 1 to 2 more tablespoons of mayonnaise. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
• Next, stir in the 2 tablespoons chives, 2 tablespoons dill and 1 tablespoon basil. Before serving, garnish with more herbs. Serve the egg salad in lettuce cups, with flax crackers, in a sandwich or even in a salad. Or you can refrigerate the egg salad for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• To hard-boil the eggs, place in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan tightly, and turn off the heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Fill a bowl with ice water, drain the eggs and chill immediately in the ice water.
• Combine the chopped eggs, herbs, celery and red onion in a large bowl, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss with the egg mixture.
• Line plates or a platter with arugula, top with the egg salad and serve.

Steps:

• Combine egg yolk, mustard, and a pinch salt in a medium bowl. Anchor bowl by setting it inside a towel-lined saucepan, which will afford you 2 free hands-1 for pouring and 1 for whisking. Whisk until very smooth.
• Combine olive and vegetable oils in a measuring glass and pour into yolk mixture, drop by drop at first, then in a slow steady stream as mixture stiffens, until all the oil has been added. Whisk in vinegar and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Thin mayo with water if needed, adding a teaspoonful at a time until just loose enough to fall off a spoon.
• Gently lower eggs into a large saucepan of boiling salted water, and cook, maintaining an active simmer, 9 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water and stir until cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Drain, pat dry, and peel eggs. Tear eggs into large pieces and add to mayonnaise. Gently fold just to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over bread.
• Toss scallions, basil, dill, chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Toss to coat. Pile herbs on top of egg.
