Cookware

Directions

  1. Wash the basil, apple, and mango as you gather ingredients.
  2. Zest and juice the lime, saving the juice and zest in a small bowl.
  3. Peel the mango, remove the flesh from the pit, and dice it into medium pieces; add to the lime mixture.
  4. Core and medium-dice the apple and fold it into the fruit bowl with the mango and lime.
  5. In a separate bowl whisk together mayo, red curry paste, vinegar, honey, and salt to make the dressing.
  6. Chop the eggs roughly and stir them into the dressing, then mash lightly with a fork until combined into a chunky egg salad.
  7. Strip basil leaves from the stems, roll them, slice into ribbons, and fold into the egg salad to finish it.
  8. Lay half of the bread slices on a work surface; top with half the egg salad, then place the remaining bread on top and press gently to seal. Cut the sandwiches in half.
  9. Plate the sandwiches with the fruit medley on the side and serve.

Two tips

  • Prepare the fruit medley and dressing ahead and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • For a different texture, tuck a few basil ribbons into each bite or serve the sandwiches with a simple lettuce leaf.
