Gribiche is a fancy French term for essentially an egg salad with lots of herbaceous brightness. This easy, protein packed egg salad fresh, bright,, healthy and super delicious. Definitely not like the traditional mayo laden egg salad.
Hard boiled eggs: Put the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water up to a boil, cover and turn off the heat. Leave the eggs to sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
Drain off the hot water and fill the pot with cold water. Let the eggs cool completely, then drain. Pat dry and chop the eggs. (Discard up to 2 egg yolks if you prefer less yolky salad.)
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, zest and juice of the lemon, salt and pepper to mix. Add the fresh chopped herbs, shallots, chopped eggs, capers, and stir to mix. Taste and season as necessary.
To serve: toast your favorite sliced bread, slather on some mashed avocado. Pile on the egg salad. Crack a couple of turns of black pepper, sea salt if needed. Serve.
Alternatively grill some fresh asparagus and pile it on the grilled veggie.
