Classic Full GAPS Egg Salad With Homemade Mayonnaise

A lightly dressed Full GAPS egg salad with homemade mayonnaise, parsley and red onion, plus optional fermented pickle and fresh dill. This recipe serves two to four.
Servings: 2 to 4 servings
Course: Full GAPS, Lunch

Ingredients
  

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons homemade mayonnaise prepared separately; measure from the finished jar
  • 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 red onion finely diced
To season
  • sea salt whole, unprocessed; to taste
  • ground pepper to taste
Optional additions
  • 1 fermented pickle optional; chopped and drained of clinging brine
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh dill optional; chopped

Equipment

  • Wooden cutting board
  • Stainless-steel knife
  • Glass or ceramic mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon or fork for folding

Method
 

  1. Use fully cooked, cooled hard-boiled eggs. Peel them and chop them into small pieces. Put the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the amount of finished homemade mayonnaise listed above. Use a spoon or fork to lift and turn the eggs through it until lightly coated. Some yolk will soften into the dressing; stop while pieces of white and yolk are still visible.
  3. Add the finely chopped parsley and finely diced red onion. Fold them through the eggs gently.
  4. If using them, add the chopped, drained fermented pickle and the fresh dill in the amounts listed above. Fold gently, taste a small forkful, then add sea salt and ground pepper to taste.
  5. Serve in bowls or lettuce leaves once raw greens are tolerated and diarrhea has cleared. If you are not serving it right away, cover the salad and refrigerate it promptly. Keep it cold until serving.

Notes

This recipe serves two to four; a doubled recipe serves four to eight. The mayonnaise is prepared separately, then measured from the finished jar. Fermented pickle and dill are optional.
Full GAPS after all the ingredients, including raw onion and herbs, have been introduced and tolerated. Wait until diarrhea has cleared before serving raw vegetables; lettuce leaves are a serving option once raw greens are tolerated.
Cover and refrigerate promptly at 40°F (4°C) or below. Keep the salad cold until serving. Prepare the amount you plan to serve, and keep the eggs and mayonnaise refrigerated before mixing.
