Notes:
From the kitchen
- For clean slices, let your eggs cool completely before cutting.
- Finely chop the herbs so they blend into every bite instead of overpowering the eggs.
- Toss gently – you want soft egg pieces, not mashed salad.
- This recipe tastes best fresh, but leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to one day.
- Add paprika, sumac, mint, oregano, basil, or crushed red pepper for extra flavor.
- Finish with a squeeze or two of lemon juice for brightness.
- Toss in chopped cucumber or radishes for extra crunch.
- Crumble feta on top for a salty bite.
- Turn it into a full meal with sliced avocado or chickpeas.
- Serve for breakfast or lunch with toasted sourdough.
- Make it into a simple egg salad sandwich.

Eggs are considered a complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. One large egg has about 6 grams of protein and is also rich in vitamin B12, vitamin D, and choline – a nutrient important for brain health.
