What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Talking Points: Radish Chive Egg Salad! Meatless meals do not have to be boring, that’s for sure. I find it fun to put together interesting combinations of fresh veggies with egg salad. You can, too. If you like a hint of celery seed, think of feathery green celery leaves instead. Or if you usually add chopped shallots, what about snipped chives this time? Instead of tomatoes, add the crunch of radish slices. Bread doesn’t have to be humdrum either. Ditch the bland white open-faced for rye, pumpernickel, or honey wheat. Do you see where this is heading? Anything goes.
RADISH CHIVE EGG SALAD
Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs, shells removed and halved
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 slices honey wheat bread, toasted
12 celery leaves, washed
2 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
Chives, for garnish
Instructions:
Place the peeled eggs in a bowl. Roughly chop into pieces. Add mayonnaise, chopped chives, Dijon mustard, sea salt, white pepper, turmeric, and ground ginger. Mix the ingredients together until combined. Cut the toast into diagonal quarters. Arrange on a platter. Dollop a portion of the egg salad onto each piece of bread. Tuck celery leaves around egg salad. Top with thinly sliced radishes. Using a kitchen shears, snip the chives over all for garnish.
Oh gosh, I love radishes.

I like that you used the celery leaves too; they have so much flavor and often they use end up being scrapped. Plus, they looked like wings…
