Curry Egg Salad with Apples, Walnuts & Craisins

The Spanish word for appetizers or snacks is “tapas”. Meals that are “tapas-style” allow you to enjoy a variety of different tastes while sharing meals with friends. The small plates included in tapas are certainly ideal for backyard parties, bridal showers, or picnics. This Curry Egg Salad recipe is packed with flavour, crunch, and sweetness. Above all, this recipe is well-balanced and completely customizable! For example, serve on mini pitas or whole grain crackers for a great snack! Additionally, it makes for a delicious meal on a wrap!

Curry powder is actually a mix of spices, usually a combination of coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, mustard, fenugreek, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, chilies and black pepper. Likewise, adding spices is a great way to add flavour without adding sodium. Moreover, it allows you to experiment and discover the flavours of other cultures. More on this here.
