Eggs in salads of various descriptions are one important way to use them, especially if you want the nutritional benefits, but you don't like them alone. For hard cooked eggs refer to this post-- How to Boil an Egg . You may want one or a dozen eggs depending on the number of people you are serving. You may also want to keep an egg or two in the fridge for emergencies. I recommend storing them in the shell after you have cooled them in water and cracked the shell. If you peeled them after cooking, put them in a container with a lid or a resealable bag and store them for two or three days.
To dress up a garden salad, slice or chop the hard cooked egg, and add it with dressing and croutons. Enjoy!
Hard cooked eggs in salads like potato, tuna, English pea or chicken, add color, texture and protein. One old trick for estimating how much chopped egg to add to potato salad goes like this: one egg for two potatoes. (Regular sized potatoes, not the giant ones used for baking.) For most things, two eggs is enough for a normal recipe that feeds four people. Use your own judgment--time, cost, and convenience will help you decide how much is feasible.
Potato and tuna salad usually have chopped onions, pickle relish, and dressing. You may add other ingredients like bacon bits, green peas, chopped ham, cheese, pimentos, chopped celery, bell peppers, chopped broccoli, grapes, chopped apples, and chopped ham. By the way, leftover ham makes a great salad, too. Pick two or three of the suggested additives and try them. You may discover delicious new combinations.
