Directions
- Wash the basil, apple, and mango as you gather ingredients.
- Zest and juice the lime, saving the juice and zest in a small bowl.
- Peel the mango, remove the flesh from the pit, and dice it into medium pieces; add to the lime mixture.
- Core and medium-dice the apple and fold it into the fruit bowl with the mango and lime.
- In a separate bowl whisk together mayo, red curry paste, vinegar, honey, and salt to make the dressing.
- Chop the eggs roughly and stir them into the dressing, then mash lightly with a fork until combined into a chunky egg salad.
- Strip basil leaves from the stems, roll them, slice into ribbons, and fold into the egg salad to finish it.
- 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.
- 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.
