Easy Egg Salad

This easy egg salad recipe is a modern German version made with Greek yogurt, mayo, chives, crisp green apples, curry and paprika powders. I love the refreshing touch from the fresh apple, and the exotic note from the curry powder.

Notes

Boiling Your Eggs. To get the perfect boiled egg without the shell cracking, it's important to put cold eggs into a pot and fill with warm water. Then bring the water to a boil and boil for 10 minutes before draining and running cold water over them. For a little softer yolk, boil for 8 minutes instead.
Peeling The Eggs. Peel the eggs right after running cold water over them to ensure the peel comes off easy.
Slicing The Eggs. It's easiest and cleanest to use an egg wedger. A pretty common tool to have in a German household.
