My Hawaiian Egg Salad is a tropical twist on a classic that comes together in just 45 minutes start to finish. I love this recipe because it's so simple yet impressive, making it perfect for lunch prep or last minute entertaining. The combination of fresh pineapple, cilantro, and mango chutney brings you straight to the islands, while the ginger and sesame oil add an Asian inspired depth. Hard boiled eggs are packed with choline, which supports brain health and memory, making this not only delicious but nutritious too. The macadamia nuts add a satisfying crunch without breaking the bank, and honestly, you probably have most of these ingredients on hand already.
