Egg Salad

Egg salad is a dish made primarily from hard-boiled eggs that are chopped or diced and mixed with a binding agent, typically mayonnaise, and other ingredients such as mustard, relish, or herbs. It is often seasoned with salt and pepper and can include additional ingredients like celery, onions, or paprika. Egg salad is commonly served as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or as a topping for salads and vegetables. In Hebrew, egg salad is known as חלת ביצים (kh'leht beitzim). In German, it is called Eiersalat, while in French, it is referred to as salade d'œufs. The dish is popular in various cuisines around the world, with regional variations that may include unique ingredients or preparation methods. For example, in some parts of the United States, egg salad may be made with a higher proportion of mustard or include sweet pickles for added flavor. The dish is also a common choice for picnics and lunches due to its simplicity and versatility.
