If you add a pinch of tumeric, you'll get no real added taste but the allure of the traditional yellow colour of egg salad (I'm a chef :) 

Beautifully made! 

Cholesterol is good for you and if you don't eat it you have to make it. Science has done a 180 in the last 10 yrs. :) 

Great idea for those cutting down on the cholesterol!  

I'd like mine with a lot of pepper, please! 

HK3 from the article you posted: “However, people with certain health problems, such as diabetes, should continue to avoid cholesterol-rich foods,” says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD. So it's still important for many people to avoid cholesterol. Maybe don't give out medical advice. Thanks.  

I like egg salad but I want my yolk  

I hadn't thought of turmeric, JustWinnie. When I was on a low iodine diet while being treated for a thyroid condition and wasn't allowed to eat yolks, I found that adding nutritional yeast to my egg whites before I scrambled them not only gave them some yellow color, but also gave them more flavor  

okay then enjoy your egg white sandwich looks good to me.  

I gotta have my yolks, we'd be a good meal match, I'll take the yokes you take the whites lol 

I love egg salad. I usually make mine with a whole egg and one just egg white. That way there is a little yolk to give some cholesterol. 

John I know many people including myself who have improved cholesterol levels by change in diet. Our livers make all the cholesterol we need for health you don't have to include it in your diet. From your bio you want to lower LDL levels.... one great way to do that is to include more healthy fats in your diet. So add avocado, salmon, tuna and olive oil. Sure yolks have nutrition but you can get that from other items and still meet your objective.  

Why does every photo of how a person eats eggs have to start a debate about cholesterol? I've seen it on so many photos of eggs or egg whites on this site and I guessed before I read the comments there would be people giving advice, telling the poster egg yolks are great for you, that as much fat as you like is good for you...not too far off. Let people eat how they want. We're not all on the same diet, some people might have restrictions you don't and personal advice/guidelines given by a professional who knows their medical history, not you, some stranger on the internet. 

I so agree with your statement, John, "don't give out medical advice" especially if you are not an MD, don't know the patient's history or really, anything at all. 

Winnie, my grandmother used to add turmeric to fried scrambled tofu "eggs" to give it the yellow color. I hadn't considered it for this. Thanks for the suggestion.  

McBubbles our bodies make cholesterol whether we eat it or not. I'll keep to my nutritionist's and my doctor's advice on how much of it to eat.  

Pegster, lots of pepper sounds great! I meant to top this with pepper but was so hungry I ate it before I remembered to! lol 

Writingwyo, a little nutritional yeast is a marvelous idea!! I'll have to try to remember to try that next time.  

CrazyCatChick, I appreciate the comment and the suggestion. I've been trying to include some of each of those.  

Oats_the_Whey, right? "It's the internet so let's fight!" FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT. I see things other people choose to eat that I think are really unhealthy all the time but I choose not to comment. I keep scrolling and just mind my own business.
