Spicy Egg Salad
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup radish microgreens
- Your favorite sandwich bread
- Lettuce leaves
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about one inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes.
- Chill and peel: Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely, then peel and chop them into small pieces.
- Combine the salad ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fold everything together: Add the chopped eggs, diced jalapeños, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
- Add the microgreens: Gently fold in the radish microgreens. Their delicate texture means they are best added at the end to keep them crisp.
- Adjust the seasoning: Taste the egg salad and add more salt, pepper, or jalapeños to suit your preference.
- Assemble the sandwich: To prevent soggy bread, place a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread. Spoon the egg salad mixture onto the lettuce, then top with the second slice of bread. Serve immediately and enjoy!
