Keto Egg Salad

It is delicious all on its own, very good in a sandwich made with keto bread, and just lovely when piled on slices of crunchy cucumber. One of my favorite lunches, apart from reheating last night’s leftovers, is making a quick high-protein salad and serving it with veggies. I often make keto tuna salad, salmon salad, and keto chicken salad. This keto egg salad is another lunch staple. It’s tasty, very easy to make, and it keeps for a few days in the fridge. On hot summer nights, when cooking seems unappealing, I also serve it for dinner.

Keto Egg Salad Instructions

Expert Tip

I like to grate the eggs by hand, using a box grater. This makes the best-textured salad. You can simply mash the eggs with a fork if you wish. This would produce a coarser texture, but it would still be very good.

Hard-boiled eggs: If you follow my tutorial for how to cook easy-peel hard-boiled eggs, you want the yolks well-cooked, so keep the eggs in the water for 12 minutes. Mayonnaise: I prefer using mayo made with avocado oil. Dijon mustard: This traditional French mustard is creamier, thicker, and less vinegary than yellow mustard. Sliced scallions: I prefer to use the green parts only. The white parts are a bit too crunchy and sharp. Salt and pepper: I use sea salt and freshly ground black pepper in this recipe.

You start by grating the eggs with a box grater. This achieves the best texture, in my opinion. (Photos 1-2). Then, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, scallions, salt, and pepper. (Photo 3). Mix everything well, then refrigerate the salad to allow the flavors to meld. That’s it! I told you this was an easy recipe! (Photo 4).

Storing Leftovers

You can store the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. Give them a good stir before using them. Another efficient and low-carb tool for eating this salad is plain pork rinds. That’s my husband’s favorite tool for scooping it up. And yet another option is to serve it on some type of keto bread - 90-second bread, keto bagel, savory chaffles, or thick slices of almond flour bread. One of my family’s favorite weekend lunches is when I make a beautiful spread of cut-up vegetables, plain pork rinds, and almond flour keto crackers, all used to scoop up delicacies such as this salad, smoked salmon mousse, and Greek yogurt dip.
