Egg Salad Recipe

Egg Salad Recipe

• For the past month, Karel and I have been making egg salad. Each time is different with a new ingredient in our recipe. Last night I made a delicious and spicy egg salad which went great on top of a bed of spinach. Unfortunately, I didn't make enough and we have no leftovers.

• Egg salad can be so healthy but if you buy it pre-made in the store or follow the basic egg salad recipe, you are likely to consume a lot of fat and calories.

Here's a typical egg salad recipe....

• 8 eggs

• 1 egg = 78 calories, 5.4g fat, 212mg cholesterol, 6.3g protein

• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp = 90 calories, 10g fat

• 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard

• 1 tsp = 5 calories, 120mg sodium

• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 red onion, minced

Here's my recipe....

• 5 egg whites

• 1 egg white = 16 calories, 4g protein

• 2 egg yokes

• (Or 3 egg whites + 2 whole eggs)

• 1/3 cup diced purple onion

• 2 cloves garlic (diced)

• 1/4 cup green peppers (diced)

• 1/2 can of diced tomatoes and green chili's (you can use fresh but I happened to have a can in my pantry)

• 1/2 tbsp olive oil Mayo (or fat-free mayo)

• 2 tsp. spicy mustard

• 1/8 cup fresh Parmesan cheese (you can use shredded or if you use it in a shaker, use 2 tbsp)

• Pepper and cayenne pepper

• To cook perfect hard boiled eggs, boil water in a pot. When the water is boiling, slowly add your eggs to the pot. I use a ladle (or any cooking spoon) to slowly drop the eggs into the water. When the eggs are added, turn down the heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes. After the eggs are finished cooking, empty out the water and fill the pot with cold water for 2-3 minutes. When you are peeling your eggs, peel them under cold water. I have cracked my eggs by adding them too quickly to the water so another easy tip is to cook your eggs for 20 min. Turn the heat on high with the eggs already in the water. When the water boils, reduce the heat to low and cook for the remainder of the 20 minutes.

• Egg salad is best chilled so try to make the egg salad ahead of time, before eating it.

• Always refrigerate your egg salad or keep chilled if taking it to work.

• Great ways to incorporate egg salad into your diet:

• Stuff pita bread with egg salad

• Use inside a wrap or on a bagel (or 1/2 bagel)

• Make a sandwich or an open face sandwich (even better, two open face sandwiches for double the egg salad!)

• Eat with pita chips (be sure to portion control!)

• Top your salad with egg salad

• Eat it all by itself

• In the mood for a high protein meal? Make an omelet and use my spicy egg salad recipe for the inside of the omelet (use only egg whites and skim milk when making the omelet. I recommend 2 egg whites and 2 tbsp skim milk)

• Change up your normal egg salad recipe. Add tofu, diced lean meat, veggie meat, different spices, fresh herbs, different cheeses (ex. goat cheese, blue cheese, mozzarella), different veggies (peas, corn, potatoes, zucchini, celery, cucumber, eggplant) or add seeds/nuts (sunflower seeds, soy nuts, chopped almonds).

G.) Simple egg salad recipe

Yield:

• 4 servings.

• 6 large eggs

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• Place eggs into a pot, and cover with water. Bring the eggs to a boil on the stove top, once the water is boiling, place a lid on the pot, and turn off the heat. Allow the eggs to sit for 10 minutes, they will cook themselves with the residual heat in the pot. Over cooking boiled eggs gives you green eggs and that never looks attractive. After ten minutes, remove pot from stove top, and allow the faucet to pour cool water over the eggs. Once the water is no longer hot, add a few ice cubes, and let the eggs cool. When the eggs have cooled, give them a rough chop and place into a bowl. Combine chopped eggs along with the mayonnaise and black pepper.

Options:

• You can add your own variety of extra ingredients, maybe you would like some dill pickle or even some onion to the egg salad for a different flavor. I really enjoy egg salad on toasted sourdough bread.

How Long Do Eggs Stay Fresh?

• Note: this is for raw eggs, and not cooked eggs.

• “The oil coating which seals the shell’s pores helps to prevent bacteria from entering the egg and reduces moisture loss from the egg. RAW SHELL EGGS REFRIGERATED IN THEIR CARTONS WILL KEEP FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 WEEKS BEYOND THE PACK DATE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT QUALITY LOSS. (The pack date is usually a number from 1 to 365 representing the day of the year starting with January 1 as 1 and ending with December 31 as 365.)”

• “Properly handled and stored, eggs rarely “spoil”. If you keep them long enough, they are more likely to simply dry up! But, don’t leave eggs out at room temperature. They’ll age more in 1 day at room temperature than they will in 1 week in the refrigerator. Room temperature is also an ideal temperature for bacterial growth.”

Potato salad recipe

Potato salad recipe

• Potato salad recipes are one of those things that you expect to find at a big family gathering and no picnic would be right without it. While the potato salad recipe varies in ingredients based on where in the world they come from they are for the most part all good. I guess you could say “I’ve never met a Potato salad I didn’t like”.

• So below here are some of the variations in styles of potato salad recipe based on the ingredients:

• Potato salad recipes made with new potatoes, cooked with skin on and skin left on.

•   Potato salad made with larger potatoes, cooked with skin on and then peeled and cut

•   Potato salad made with a mayonnaise, sour cream or milk dressing base

•   Potato salad made with a vinegar base.

• Potato salad made with a mustard base.

• After that it’s just a matter of taste and texture as to what you put into it.

• One other thing worth pointing out is the temperature at which the potato salad recipe is served. This has something to do with the style and ingredients of the potato salad also. What we in America refer to as “German potato salad” is served warm and is a vinegar based potato salad. You wouldn’t want to be serving a mayonnaise base potato salad warm.

• Well for those of you that are looking to shead a few pounds (I include myself in this statement) im sorry to say there is no potato salad diet. But as with most things in life what this mean is that you have to take things in modiration. You can eat potato salad and lose weight too. How you ask? By doing what we should all be doing, get up out of that chair your reading this from and move. Also don't fill that plate up with the potato salad. Have just enough to satisfy that crraving and move on. Now there are ways to reduce the amount of carbs and calories in potato salad but that is anought website im sure so for here just remember modiration.

• If you have a great Potato Salad Recipe that you would like to share then drop an a post to us on the blog. We are always looking to expand the list of potato salad recipes and if you have something that goes great with potato salad let us know about that too.

• Bigest tip I can give you about making great potato salad is don't make mashed potatoes, what I mean by that is don't over cook your potatoes.  When eat potato salad you exspec t to put your fork into a potat and it to stay together.  Other than that I've only meet 1 potato salad I did't like.

• Not all potatoes are created equal when it comes to making potato salad. You need to use a potato that is designed for Boiling.

There are two basic kinds of potatoes:

• First there are baking potatoes that are more starchy. They are identified by their long bodies and rough skin. These are greate for French fries, baking and mashing.

• The common names for these are "Russet", "Goldrush", "Norkotah", "Long White" or "California Long White", and Idaho.

• The potatoes that we want for a potato salad recipe are sometimes called waxy potatoes. They tend to have a thin, smooth skin with a waxy like flesh. They are higher in water and sugar, and don't have as much starch.

• These types of potatoes are great for soups, casseroles, potato salad, roasting, and barbecuing because of the higher water content the tend to keep their shape. If you do use them for mashing you will get something that is more like paste glue and will be full of lumps.

 C.) Easy potato salad recipe

• Making potato salad is really easy! It is an all-time favorite side dish or vegetable dish that people crave with barbecue, picnics, and outdoor events in the summertime.

• My easy potato salad recipe is here further down on this page. And, if you follow my simple potato salad recipe, you will be able to make the best potato salad that people will love! Every time I make it, the potato salad gets rave reviews.

• My favorite time to make potato salad is when I am serving up some of Terry's Barbecue Sauce with some ribs and baked beans. It's really fast and easy and there are so many easy potato salad recipes available to try. When my mother-in-law taught me how to make potato salad with mayonnaise, I quite buying it in the store and started making my own. I couldn't believe I learned how to make easy potato salad so fast!

• If you are looking for a fast and easy dish to make, potato salad is it. And, it's what most people enjoy at a large gathering. Potato salad is best when made in larger batches to serve as a crowd pleaser. A good site to find more information is allrecipes.com but a lot is here to help you too. Just be aware that there are many ways to make potato salad.

• The best thing about how to make potato salad is how easy it is to change the ingredients to match your taste. Potatoes mix well with a wide range of unique flavors, so combining potato salad recipes is recommended. Many easy potato salad recipes are made with oil, without oil, with mayonnaise, and without mayonnaise. Once you find a basic recipe that works the best, its easy to change it up and make it more interesting.

• The only common denominator to easy potato salad recipes is some kind of oil. There are several important things to know about how to make potatoe salad. One this is that it is best if you can make it the night before you want to eat it. It needs time to set up.

• Potato salads usually come in two general descriptions; potato salads made with mayonnaise, and potato salads made with a vegetable oil or even olive oil. Some potato salad recipes use mustard, assorted vegetables, and lots of different seasonings. But most potato salad recipes include a main ingredient of mayonnaise or miracle whip, especially the southern style recipes for potato salad.

• The most popular potato salad is the one made from a mayonnaise based potato salad recipe. This is normally the kind of potato salad people immediately think of when they think of a potato salad recipe. While its very tasty, it does involve a fairly large amount of mayonnaise, which is of course high in saturated fat and cholesterol. But hey, my grandparents lived into their late 80’s even though they routinely ate large quantities of high fat food! Potatoe salad is just one of those dishes that stands the test of time. My favorite easy potato salad recipe is further down the page and worth trying.

• The potato salad recipe that uses no mayonnaise at all though is gaining popularity. For people thinking about a low fat diet, the potato salad recipes that use the no mayonnaise option are available. Typically, these easy recipes use mustard and other seasonings to replace the mayonnaise.

• Under the quantity specified in a recipe, just substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream, a plain yogurt, or some cottage cheese to make potato salad with no mayonnaise in it at all! Then, you can puree these substitutes in a blender for the best results. And remember, just try the low fat or fat-free alternatives to reduce on calories or fat consumption.

• Most people today are becoming more aware of their health in their choices of food. For example, oil based potato salads are becoming more popular. Remember, the first potato salad recipes our grandparents made were made with olive oil. This was probably because there was no mayonnaise available in those days. Potato salad made with olive oil is just as good as the easy mayonnaise based recipe. With the right seasoning, it can be just as good as the original potato salad.

E.) German potato salad recipe

Ingredients:

• 10-12 Yellow Finnish Potatoes

• 1 large onion

• ½ - ¾ cup broth (chicken or vegetable)

• ¼ cup white vinegar

•  2 tbs. water

• ¼ cup, plus 1 tbs. oil

• Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

• Boil the whole potatoes until they are done, but still firm.

• Drain the water, cover, and place in a cool place for 1-2 hours.

• While the potatoes are cooling, chop the onion. Heat 1 tbs. of oil in a pan. Add the onion, and cook until it is brown and crispy.

• Peel the skin off of the potatoes.

• Slice the potatoes very thinly into a bowl. The large slicer on a cheese grater works well for this.

• Add the browned, crispy onion, and toss gently together.

•  In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the oil, vinegar, and broth.

• Stir vinegar mixture into the potatoes.

•  If needed, add a bit of water to the potato salad. The consistency should be mushy, but not runny.

• Add salt and pepper, to taste.

• Add more vinegar, if needed (you’ll have to go by taste).

• Refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or overnight).

• Bring to room temperature before serving.

Optional:

• Crisp some bacon, and stir it into the salad before refrigerating. The traditional recipe calls for chicken broth, but I provided the option of using vegetable broth because that is how I make it. If you use vegetable broth and omit the bacon, this is a great vegetarian salad.

Serving Suggestions

• This salad is often served with some sort of Wurst (German sausage, like Bratwurst or Bockwurst) and Brotchen (German rolls). If you are serving a vegetarian meal, which I tend to do, you can purchase some lovely faux sausages made with tofu, sundried tomatoes, chives (really, the possibilities are endless).

• There is nothing like an outdoor barbecue with some good German food and beer with friends and family.

F.) Healthy potato salad recipe

• Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk buttermilk with mayonnaise, dill, vinegar, Dijon, green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.

• Drain potatoes well. Toss hot potatoes with buttermilk mixture until coated. (Mixture will look very loose before chilling.) Cover and refrigerate potato salad at least 2 hours or overnight to blend flavors and cool slightly, stirring gently after 1 hour.
