Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
Harissa Paste
- 2–3 tablespoons of harissa paste
Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
Chopped Green Onions
- 2–3 chopped green onions
Seasonings
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Hard-Boiled Eggs: Start by placing your eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 10-12 minutes. Once done, cool them in an ice bath before peeling.
- Chop the Eggs: Once your eggs are cooled and peeled, chop them into bite-sized pieces. You can adjust the coarseness based on your texture preference – finer for a smoother salad, chunkier for a rustic feel.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, harissa paste, mayonnaise, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until the ingredients are well mixed, ensuring that the eggs are coated evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your Harissa Egg Salad a taste and add more harissa if you like it spicier or more lemon juice for an extra tang. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed!
- Chill and Enjoy: For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let your salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
Notes
- Use Fresh Eggs: The fresher your eggs, the better the flavor and texture of your salad.
- Don’t Overmix: Gently fold in the ingredients to maintain the chunkiness of the eggs for a better texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Allowing the salad to sit enhances the flavors, making it taste even more delicious.
- Experiment with Harissa: Different brands and types of harissa can change the heat level, so choose based on your spice tolerance.
- Serve in Unique Ways: Use lettuce cups or pita bread for a fun twist on your serving options.
