Why You’ll Love Egg Salad Cucumber Boats
You will love these Egg Salad Cucumber Boats because they combine the creamy, savory goodness of classic 🥚 egg salad with the fresh crunch of cucumber. It’s such a light but satiating dish that’s great for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. These are a great low-carb option that’s also packed with 💪 protein, but it feels decadent and creamy and delivers big on flavor. I love having egg salad at the ready in my fridge for quick meals, so make a big batch and add it to wraps, sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or cucumber boats all week long!
How to Prepare
💧 Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. 🥚 Gently add the eggs to the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how cooked you prefer the yolks. 🧊 While the eggs are boiling, prepare a large bowl full of ice water. When the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking. 🥣 Remove the shell from the eggs and transfer the eggs to another mixing bowl. 🔪 Use a knife or a fork to break the eggs up into small pieces. 🧂 Season with salt and pepper, and add the mayo and mustard, and mix well to combine. 🥒 Cut the cucumber in half and then slice lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop the seeds out of the 4 slices of cucumber. 🌿 Fill the hollowed cucumber boats with the egg salad. Top with bagel seasoning and parsley and enjoy.
