Salad is WIDE definition. Some people think Caesar, Cobb, Chef, or Greek. Mostly leafy with a protein, oil or creamy dressing. But then there’s salad with basically meat and mayo. Tuna salad, chicken salad, or egg salad. America even has a salad with Jello, Whipped cream, fruit, nuts commonly called fluff or Ambrosia.

That being said, Egg salad is basically mashed deviled eggs making it far and away the best thing to be called a salad.
