Homemade egg salad is a simple, nutrient-packed dish originating from Western cuisine, often enjoyed as a sandwich filling, side, or topping for salads. It typically combines hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and optional ingredients like celery, onion, or fresh herbs for added texture and flavor. Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and choline, supporting muscle health and brain function. The dish can be tailored with lighter mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for fewer calories and saturated fats. While rich in healthy fats and proteins, moderation is key due to the cholesterol and fat content in eggs and mayonnaise. Assembling it at home ensures control over added ingredients, making it a versatile and nutritionally balanced choice when prepared thoughtfully.
