Classic egg salad always reminds me of the lunch my mother packed for me almost every Wednesday. Back then, her version was simple—hard-boiled eggs and plenty of mayonnaise—and I looked forward to it every week.
Over the years I’ve lightened it up with creamy Greek yogurt, just a touch of light mayonnaise, and fragrant curry powder. The curry twist came from an Indian chef who told me a version of curried egg salad had been a favorite since her childhood in India. Ever since then, I’ve been making it this way.
I usually keep hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator as part of my weekly meal prep, so this is one of my favorite quick meals. It’s delicious tucked into a sandwich, spooned onto a bed of greens, wrapped in lettuce leaves, or simply enjoyed with crackers and fresh vegetables

Ingredients & Notes
- Hard-boiled eggs – The star of the recipe. I usually make a batch as part of my weekly meal prep so they’re always ready for quick breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. Use your favorite method—stovetop, air fryer, Instant Pot (affiliate link), or an egg cooker all work well.
- Green onions (scallions) – Add a mild onion flavor and a little freshness without overpowering the eggs.
- Toasted almonds – Provide a pleasant crunch and a boost of protein. Pecans or walnuts would also work if that’s what you have on hand.
- Nonfat plain Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess and extra protein while keeping the salad lighter.
- Light mayonnaise – Just enough to round out the flavor and mellow the tanginess of the Greek yogurt.
- Mild curry powder – Gives the salad its warm, earthy flavor and beautiful golden color. Curry powders vary in heat, so if you enjoy spicier foods, feel free to use a hotter blend. I usually reach for a mild curry powder.
- Red pepper flakes – Just a pinch adds a subtle touch of heat. Leave them out if you prefer a milder salad.
- Fresh parsley – Adds fresh flavor and a pop of color.
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper – Season to taste. Depending on your curry powder and personal preference, you may not need much salt.
