Main Ingredients- 5 large eggs
- 1 fresh cucumber
- 5 Tbsp canned corn kernels
Dressing- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the cucumber and pat it dry. Slice it thinly on a diagonal (bias cut). Set aside. Now, prepare the eggs for boiling. You can boil them in a pot for about 30 minutes until hard-boiled. Alternatively, a rice cooker’s ‘quick cook’ function can cook them in approximately 20 minutes.
Step 2
Place the sliced cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp of coarse salt. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After salting, gently rinse the cucumber slices under cold running water and then squeeze them firmly to remove any remaining water. This step ensures the cucumber stays crisp in the salad.
Step 3
Once the eggs are hard-boiled, peel them while they are still warm. Using a fork, potato masher, or the back of a spoon, mash the eggs until they are broken down into small pieces. Aim for a consistency where there are no large chunks of egg white or yolk.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed eggs with the dressing ingredients: 3 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp mustard, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until well combined. Add the squeezed cucumber slices and the canned corn kernels to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Sprinkle a little dried parsley over the egg salad for a touch of color and freshness. Transfer the prepared egg salad to a clean container or serving dish. Enjoy your delicious creation! It’s especially wonderful when served on soft rolls or as a filling for sandwiches. Highly recommended!
