Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 serving Pita chips or crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling the shells.
Finely chop the peeled eggs and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing, if needed, until it’s smooth and drizzleable.
Pour the tahini dressing over the chopped eggs and mix gently but thoroughly to combine.
Finely chop the parsley and green onions. Add them to the egg salad and fold them in gently.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.
Serve the tahini egg salad with pita chips, crusty bread, or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
