Egg salad is a classic dish made primarily from hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and herbs. Often served as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or on its own, it traces its roots to European and American cuisines where simple, protein-rich meals are popular. Eggs provide a good source of high-quality protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium and choline, which support brain health. While nutritious, egg salad's healthiness depends on its ingredients; mayonnaise adds fats that can be high in calories and saturated fat. Healthier versions often substitute mayonnaise for yogurt or avocado to reduce calorie content without compromising creaminess. Versatile and easy to customize with additional vegetables or spices, egg salad can fit a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.
