Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 small clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 serving Pita chips or crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling the shells.

Step 3

Finely chop the peeled eggs and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing, if needed, until it’s smooth and drizzleable.

Step 5

Pour the tahini dressing over the chopped eggs and mix gently but thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

Finely chop the parsley and green onions. Add them to the egg salad and fold them in gently.

Step 7

Transfer the egg salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.

Step 8

Serve the tahini egg salad with pita chips, crusty bread, or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
