Dinakdakan is a traditional Filipino dish originating from the Ilocos region in the northern part of the Philippines, a type of grilled pork salad, often made from various parts of the pig such as the ears, the head, and liver, though other pork cuts can also be used.

The meat is boiled until tender, then grilled or broiled to add a smoky flavor, chopped into bite-sized pieces, and finally mixed with a dressing. The distinctive dressing for dinakdakan includes vinegar, calamansi juice (a type of citrus similar to lemons and limes), onions, ginger, and chili peppers.

A key ingredient that sets Dinakdakan apart from other Filipino dishes is the addition of pig's brain or mayonnaise as a binding agent, giving the dish a creamy texture. The pig's brain traditionally used in the dish thickens the sauce and adds a unique flavor, but mayonnaise is a common substitute for practicality and to cater to different preferences.

Dinakdakan is often served as an appetizer or a main dish and is a staple at gatherings and special occasions.
