Then I remembered a very simple German salad Eiersalat. There are many versions of this egg salad, some have added potatoes, mushrooms and even ham.
Eiersalat
Ingredients:
3 duck eggs, hard-boiled
3 spring onions, finely chopped
a few garlic leaves (optional)
3tbsp thick Greek style yogurt
2tbsp mayonaise
a pinch of paprika
a good squeeze of lemon juice
Chop the hard-boiled eggs and finely chop spring onions and garlic leaves. Mix together in a medium sized bowl. Add the yogurt or soured cream, mayonnaise, paprika and lemon juice, and mix well.
It is a lovely side salad to go with baby new potatoes and green beans. It will also be fab in plain egg sandwiches.
I am growing garlic this year, both in planters and in the strawberry patch. The green leaves are still young now. Can't wait to harvest it later this year.

I'm not sure if my comment went through so please delete this if it did but it was on delay!!
ReplyDeleteSmashed egg sandwiches are my favourite but these seem like a classier version, will deffo be trying it.
Not sure about classier. That garlic was quite potent, so perhaps not a date night material, lol
DeleteOh, somehow I seem to have missed your comment yesterday. Maybe it was, because I had been invited for some great food and football watching by some new friends. Your Eiersalat sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good evening to me, great food and friends.
Deleteooh now this looks like a lovely salad.
