egg salad
Chopped ovoid mixture
Egg salad is a cold dish of chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, often with additions like mustard, celery, or onion.
It's typically served as a sandwich filling or on crackers: I'll have the egg salad on rye.
The dish is a staple of delis and picnic fare.
