Keto Egg Salad Recipe

While making egg salad is quick, boiling eggs can be a real hassle if you are not prepped. I have found that using my pressure is the best way to boil a ton of eggs at once quite easily!

Check out my Ninja Foodi Hard Boiled Eggs tutorial for perfectly peeled eggs (which make great deviled eggs, egg salad, deviled egg dip salad).  Then you can seal and store boiled eggs in the fridge for salads like this up to one week after they are cooked.

Egg Salad Variations

Simple egg salad like my recipe just beg for additions and variations. You can absolutely add more ingredients to your egg salad, just be careful that if you are trying to stay on a healthy keto-friendly diet, those additions need to also be keto. 

• Dill – add 1/2 tsp of dill seasoning.
• Pickles – pickles may or may not be keto-friendly depending on where you get them. Some store-bought pickles contain sugars, so please be aware when picking them out. Just cut up your pickles and add to your salad
• Olives – black olives taste delicious in an egg salad. They are also high in fat and low in carbs
• Chicken – Canned chicken makes a great protein addition
• Tuna – Just like chicken, you can add drained canned tuna to an egg salad for a high protein and low fat variation
• Bacon – Need some crunch? Add cut-up bacon. Start with 1/4 cup or less. 
• Avocado – Avocado is one of ketos best partners in crime. Add avocado to your salad! 
• Celery – chopped-up bite-sized pieces of celery
• Mustard – this recipe uses plain Dijon mustard, but you could just yellow mustard, spicy mustard, or (not keto friendly) honey mustard

Is Egg Salad Keto?

This recipe for egg salad is keto friendly and a healthy egg salad alternative to many other recipes. Plus, it’s amazing. The keto is just a bonus; keto lifestyle or not, this is an amazing egg salad. Please note that this recipe uses Dijon mustard, NOT HONEY Dijon mustard.

Serving your Egg Salad

When you are on a keto diet, normal bread is totally out. Here are a few ways to eat your salad – the affiliate links go to Amazon so you can read more about these options.

• keto friendly tortillas
• coconut wraps
• carb balance tortillas
• lettuce wraps
• in a bowl
• as a dipper for celery 

Can you freeze Egg Salad?

No, I do not recommend that you freeze egg salad. Mayo does not freeze well and the texture will completely change on thaw. It is best to make egg salad fresh and serve within a day.
