Cucumber-Basil Egg Salad

This cucumber and basil egg salad offers a refreshing and sophisticated update to a classic lunchtime staple. By incorporating crisp, deseeded cucumber and fragrant fresh basil, this dairy-free dish moves away from the traditional heavy style towards something much brighter and more aromatic. The addition of sharp shallots and mild spring onions provides a delicate crunch and a savoury depth that complements the creamy mayonnaise perfectly.

Ideal for a quick weekday lunch or a light weekend brunch, this versatile egg salad is wonderful served in a crusty baguette or piled onto toasted sourdough. Because it is naturally dairy-free, it is an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a lighter, protein-rich meal. It can be prepared in advance, making it a reliable option for healthy meal prepping.
