🥄 Texture

Creamy and chunky from the mayonnaise and chopped hard-boiled eggs, with juicy bursts from diced tomatoes and a crisp bite from raw onion. The toasted bread adds a crunchy, slightly oily exterior that contrasts with the soft filling.

👃 Aroma

Savory egg and mayonnaise notes dominate, lifted by bright citrus from the lemon and the fresh, green sharpness of minced chillies and onion. Toasted bread and a background of warm black pepper and turmeric provide a toasty, slightly earthy finish.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Iced lemon tea or a crisp sparkling water with a twist of lemon; if alcoholic, a light lager or a zesty Sauvignon Blanc pairs well.

🥗 Side Dishes

Crispy potato chips or fries, a simple green salad or cucumber-tomato salad, and dill pickles or a small serving of coleslaw to add more acidity and crunch.
