Devilishly good egg salad

Devilishly good egg salad

Something wickedly tasty this way comes… Devilled eggs – aka the smokiest, pokiest egg mayo you’ll ever eat, spiked with paprika, Dijon mustard and chives – meet tender baby potatoes and green beans, shredded lettuce, crunchy radishes and baby tomatoes. Filling, fiendishly flavoursome – and on the table in 20. Hell, yeah!

Before you start

  • 2x saucepans
  • 2x mixing bowls

Simmer the spuds & beans

  • Quarter the potatoes, then trim the green beans and cut them into 2cm pieces.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 13-15 mins, adding the beans for the final 3-4 mins, then drain and lightly season.

Hard-boil the eggs

  • Meanwhile, gently lower the eggs into a saucepan of boiling water. Simmer for 8 mins, then remove, run under cold water and peel.

Prep your salad

  • At the same time, trim the lettuces and thinly slice. Trim the radishes and cut each into 8 wedges, then halve the tomatoes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, radishes and tomatoes with the vinegar and a quarter of the yogurt. Stir well.

Spice things up!

  • Roughly chop the eggs, and finely chop the chives.
  • In a bowl, mix the remaining yogurt with the chives, mustard and paprika. Add the eggs and gently stir to coat.

Bring everything together

  • Stir the potatoes and green beans through the salad and divide between plates.
  • Dollop the devilled egg mixture on top and serve.
