Making egg salad is a great way to cut out the carbs and get some healthy fats into your diet, all while filling you up with lots of flavors.

The easy keto egg salad recipe is usually made with hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and a few seasonings.

You can eat it as is, add it to a croissant or sandwich, or even top a salad. It’s a great and versatile recipe and has a high amount of protein. (If you add it to a croissant, or bread it will no longer be keto).

A lot of people take egg salad to potlucks or keep on hand to eat for lunch. It’s delicious as a meal or a great addition to any meal.

I love using dried herbs, and they taste fantastic, but remember that fresh herbs are always going to taste even better.

  • Add some diced avocado for a creamier and richer texture.
  • Sprinkle in some cooked and crumbled bacon for a smoky and savory flavor and a different texture.
  • Add some chopped chives or green onions for a fresh taste.
  • Drizzle a touch of hot sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper on top for a spicy kick.
  • Experiment with different seasonings, such as curry powder, fresh dill, or smoked paprika, to create new flavors.
  • Cut up some celery for a crunchy texture.
