Curry Egg Salad is a satisfying recipe that’s Whole30-friendly and full of flavor.
I’m a fan of all things curry. It’s one of my most favorite flavors as evidenced by all of the curry recipes on our blog like Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chicken Curry, Curry Chicken Salad, Instant Pot Lamb Curry, and Curry Cauliflower Hummus to name a few.
This recipe was created during one of my weekend meal preps. I had planned to make my favorite Curry Chicken Salad so I picked up all of the ingredients for the recipe but realized after I got home that I forgot the chicken. Oooops! As some of you may know, I live a fair distance from the nearest grocery store so I’m sometimes forced to get creative and use what I have on hand. Luckily, I always purchase a couple dozen eggs so….you guessed it, I went ahead and made the curry salad but with eggs in place of the chicken. Low and behold, it turned out better than I had expected!
Mayo made with clean ingredients. Yup, it’s a thing!
In this recipe I used my favorite Primal Kitchen Foods mayo made with avocado oil. While I also like to make my own mayo, it’s nice to have pre-made mayo on hand for ease and convenience. Primal Kitchen Foods is top of the line when it comes to quality of ingredients. If you’re looking for a mayo made with ‘clean’ ingredients and anti-inflammatory oils, this is the one we recommend!

Fantastic flavor! I love egg salad, even in its simpler state, so this was incredible! The only issue I had was too salty which was my own error due to not measuring. I think the lime juice gives it a tartness so that I could have used less salt. I used sunflower seeds and dried cherries because that is what I had on hand. Thanks for the recipe.
This is amazingly delicious! I made it yesterday and both my husband and I loved it! I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m looking forward to trying the curry chicken salad now. Both of these would be good to make up and have in the frig ready for lunches.
My curry egg sale is a lot more simple but you should try cottage cheese with a little milk instead of mayo
Used Penzeys Hot Curry, Maharajah curry, and Turmeric. The carrots and cilantro and lime juice made for more depth of flavor than other recipes I’ve tried. Definitely one to repeat!
Awesome Jackie!
