Notes
Here are a couple thoughts about this recipe:
- If you don't have hardboiled eggs, add 15 minutes onto the time for this recipe. Here's what you do: add eggs to a pot. Cover with water plus 1" additional in the pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Run under cold water for 3-5 minutes or until cooled.
- I used homemade mayo for the recipe, which has no sugar or other added stuff in it. It's easy to make- but it's entirely up to you whether to use homemade or store bought.
- If your eggs aren't quite cold when you start making my low carb curried egg salad, go ahead and make the salad... then put into the freezer for 20 minutes uncovered. Stir and test to see if it is nice and cold.
- This is not a "make ahead" kind of thing. If you put this in the fridge overnight, you'll wake up to cold curried egg soup. The only way to bring it back to life is to drain out the water and add in more mayo with some curry mixed in.
- If you don't have orange bell peppers, the yellow or red will work just fine. The green imparts a really strong flavor which I tend to avoid in recipes like this.
- No celery seed? No problem. Just add in a bit more celery.
- Go ahead and substitute red onion for the shallot if that is all you have on hand.
