Questions

Why fold instead of stir in Cajun Egg Salad?

Step 2 reads: "Gently fold in 6 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 1 finely diced celery stalk, and 2 stalks sliced green onions." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 2 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

What can I use instead of Cajun seasoning in Cajun Egg Salad?

The entry for Cajun Egg Salad calls for 1 tsp Cajun seasoning. In its place: Two parts paprika to one part each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, oregano and cayenne, with salt.

Can I make Cajun Egg Salad less spicy?

Yes. The heat in Cajun Egg Salad comes from 1/2 tsp Louisiana hot sauce. For a milder plate, start with half the hot sauce and add more to taste at the end; nothing else in the method changes.

Is Cajun Egg Salad gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Cajun Egg Salad is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the mustard, the seasoning and the hot sauce.

Does Cajun Egg Salad contain eggs?

Yes: 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. The full allergen list for this entry is eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
