Egg salad is a creamy dish made primarily with chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and sometimes paprika or fresh herbs like dill or chives. Optional additions may include celery, pickles, or onions for added texture and flavor. Originating from Western cuisine, egg salad is commonly served as a sandwich filling, a topping for crackers, or as a standalone side dish. It is a good source of protein from the eggs and contains essential nutrients like vitamin D, choline, and healthy fats. However, due to the high-fat content of mayonnaise, it can be calorie-dense, particularly in larger portions. Healthier variations substitute Greek yogurt or avocado for mayonnaise to reduce saturated fat while maintaining creaminess. Egg salad offers versatility and simplicity but should be consumed mindfully if monitoring fat or calorie intake.
