Bowl of Mediterranean Chickpea Egg Salad Garnished with cayenne pepper
Take one seem to be at this egg salad recipe and you’ll today recognise it defies the guidelines (at least the guidelines as we all recognise them right right here in America.) That’s no longer fully a foul thing, I promise.

WHY THIS EGG SALAD RECIPE WORKS
Clearly, chickpeas share a lot of the distinction with hard-boiled eggs on this simple, Mediterranean-style egg salad. And cucumbers, inexperienced onions, and celery supply huge crunch.

But the draw of me is within the style makers–a beneficiant quantity of chopped recent parsley, plus a punchy Dijon and lemon dressing. Mmm, should you let the salad sit for only a couple of minutes earlier than serving, all of the flavors will meld beautifully.

Egg Salad Mediterranean Style garnished with recent parsley and cayenne pepper
I had this satisfying egg salad for lunch the different day. All I brought was a small warm piece of pita bread. But, it’s a huge crowd-pleaser in your subsequent dinner or potluck.
