This Egg Salad recipe is pretty easy to make and really something anyone can make, even if the kitchen isn’t your usual hangout. What makes it special is how nutritious it is without feeling complicated. Eggs provide a great source of protein that helps support muscle and keep you feeling fuller for longer. They also contain choline, which plays a key role in brain function and cellular health.
Now, when you combine those eggs with low-calorie mayonnaise, you’re cutting back on fat and making it easier to digest. A sprinkling of green onions in the mix adds crunch along with vitamin K and fiber, and if you like a touch of red onion, that means you’re getting natural compounds known to support heart health.
The flavor is fresh and clean, and while I won’t go into that part, I will say this briefly — it tastes really real and satisfying. You’ll feel good eating it, knowing that it’s actually doing something positive for your body. It’s also easy to adapt based on what you already have at home, so there’s no need to hunt for something rare.
If you’re looking for a dish that will help you stay on track with your health goals, yet still be simple to put together, this one is worth your time. This recipe page has everything you need to make the dish yourself, from a full ingredient list to a calorie count and a step-by-step guide to making the final dish. All that’s left is to follow the instructions.

Making egg salad at home is a smart way to stretch your budget without sacrificing a solid, protein-focused meal. Eggs are one of the cheapest ingredients in the grocery store, and they go a long way when used in something like this. A carton of a dozen can yield multiple servings, meaning you’re getting multiple meals for a few dollars.
Buying this type of dish at a coffee shop or deli often means paying extra for convenience, packaging, and service. This cost adds up quickly if it becomes a regular habit. But if you make it yourself, you can make enough to last you a few days, especially if you’re packing lunches for work or school.
Another thing to note is how simple the rest of the ingredients are. You’re using things like mayonnaise, green onions, and seasonings. None of them are expensive on their own, and many of them are probably already sitting in your pantry. That means less waste and more savings.
If you’re looking to get more bang for your buck without sacrificing nutrients or freshness, this type of dish is truly satisfying on a budget.

This recipe works well for people who want something filling that fits into a balanced eating plan.
Athletes or anyone who works out frequently can also benefit. The protein helps muscles recover, and the clean ingredients support energy levels throughout the day. If you’re watching your weight, the recipe strikes a good balance without going overboard on the calories. Using a low-calorie mayonnaise also helps keep the fat content down.
Busy parents, college students, or anyone who works a 9-to-5 will appreciate how quick and easy it is to quickly mix all the ingredients together. You can make a batch and use it in sandwiches, wraps, or on top of veggies. It’s also gluten-free, so anyone avoiding wheat products can enjoy it too.

You really don’t need much to make this recipe, which is part of the reason it’s not hard to pull off. First, you’ll need a medium-sized saucepan to boil the eggs in. A bowl of cold water or ice is helpful for quickly cooling them after they’re done. This makes peeling them easier and maintains the right texture.
A cutting board and knife will come in handy for chopping the eggs and any additional ingredients like scallions or herbs. A small mixing bowl is perfect for combining everything together. You’ll also want a spoon or spatula to mix it well, making sure every part is evenly coated.
If you have measuring spoons, they can help you keep the consistency with salt and pepper, but they’re not a must. You can easily go by feel after you’ve done it once or twice.
You don’t need fancy tools or equipment, which is the beauty of it. With just a few basic kitchen items that most people already have at home, you can put this recipe together without stress.
