    Keto Egg Salad Recipe

    We are big fans of this keto egg salad recipe. We tend to make up a batch and keep it in the refrigerator for lunches.

    It’s also a go-to for when we are enjoying lunch on a hike. You can serve it with a keto wrap or keto tortilla but we love enjoying it with a fork or on top of a bed of greens.

    Are eggs keto?

    Yes, eggs are naturally keto. They are high in fat in protein and there are not carbs in eggs.

    Please be sure to check in ingredients if you are purchasing egg salad from the store.

    Is egg salad keto?

    If you add low carb ingredients, yes, egg salad is keto. Some people add sugar, or use a mayonnaise that includes sugar.

    Make sure to use high quality, keto friendly ingredients when you make egg salad keto.

    Ingredients

    top down view of ingredients in keto egg salad

    There are only a handful of ingredients in keto egg salad. This keto egg salad is made with hard boiled eggs, mayo, Dijon mustard, green onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and an optional splash of pickle juice.

    We prefer Dijon over regular mustard as it has a much stronger flavor. We also use it in our sugar free salad dressing recipe.

    If you’re not a fan of pickle juice or you like your egg salad on the dry side, you can leave it out.

    How to make keto egg salad

    Step 1 is to gather the ingredients. If you don’t have hard boiled eggs, you’ll need to hard boil them and let them cool. Step 2 is to chop the eggs. Step 3 is to add the other ingredients.

    Step 4 is to mix everything together. Add additional salt and pepper as needed.

    This tastes best after it’s had at least an hour to chill out in the fridge, but you can eat it right away if you’re in a hurry. Store tightly covered for up to 3 days.

    For another recipe that gets better s it chills in the fridge, try our easy keto spinach dip.

    Is mayonnaise keto?

    Yes, mayonnaise is keto friendly. Make sure to check labels as some mayo brands include sugar. Look for a high quality, sugar free mayonnaise.

    The good news is that you can have mayonnaise on a keto diet.

    Low Carb Egg Salad

    Everything in this egg salad recipe is low carb, but traditionally egg salad is served between two slices of white bread.

    You can still serve this low carb egg salad between two slices of keto bread, on a keto wrap or in a lettuce wrap.

    Keto Friendly Mayonnaise

    If you love mayo make sure to check labels to ensure it is keto friendly. Mayo is made from eggs, salt, mustard, oil, and an acid. Some brands add sugar. A few of our favorite keto friendly mayo’s are Chosen Foods and Primal Kitchen Mayo.

    You can always add other ingredients to switch up this low carb egg salad or to give it an additional crunch. Sometimes we add thinly sliced celery or some chopped olives.

    Notes
