Egg Salad

Egg Salad is one of the most popular global comfort foods. At its core, it’s a mix of chopped hard-boiled eggs bound together with a creamy dressing, usually mayonnaise and mustard. Seasonings like salt, pepper, and lemon juice brighten the flavour, while herbs such as parsley or chives add freshness.

The salad can be customised with crunchy add-ins like celery, onion, or cucumber, and spiced up with paprika or curry powder. It’s perfect as a sandwich filling, scooped onto crackers, or served in lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.

Rich in protein, quick to prepare, and budget-friendly, Egg Salad makes a satisfying snack, breakfast, or lunch.
