This Thai egg salad is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just 40 minutes and costs almost nothing to make. I love how the creamy eggs pair with the bright, tangy dressing made from fish sauce, lime juice, and a touch of Thai red curry paste. The fresh vegetables add wonderful crunch, while the peanuts give you that satisfying nutty flavor. Plus, eggs are packed with choline, which is fantastic for brain health. It's the kind of simple, flavorful dish that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
