How to Make the Best Keto Egg Salad

If you've never made egg salad before, don't fret!

This is a simple recipe to follow that even the most novice of chefs can create.

Not to mention, from start to finish, it will only take you about 25 minutes (30 tops) to make this entire recipe.

Preparing the Eggs

As you may have guessed, the backbone of a delicious egg salad recipe is, well, the eggs!

Luckily eggs are pretty easy to cook, and this recipe calls for hard-boiled eggs.

To start, add the six eggs into a saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs entirely.

You'll want to use a medium-sized saucepan so that the eggs have a bit more room to ensure a complete boil rather than being jumbled together into a tiny pan.

Using high heat, bring the water in the pan to a boil and turn the heat off.

Let the eggs rest in hot water for 15 minutes after the heat is turned off.

After 15 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water and peel off their shells.

You'll want to be careful when peeling the shells that you don't leave any remnants. Easy to miss, these small pieces of the shell will add a crunchy surprise to your egg salad that you may not enjoy!

Once the eggs are entirely peeled, chop them up into small chunks, yolk and all.

Combining the Ingredients

After the eggs are ready to go, chop up the avocado - roughly the same size that you chopped the eggs.

If your avocado is a bit too soft to cut up, you can mash it instead, and it'll still work perfectly.

Sprinkle the lemon juice over the avocado to add flavor.

Now, combine the eggs, avocado, mustard, and mayonnaise into a sufficiently sized mixing bowl and mix it up.

You'll want to stir it enough to evenly combine all the ingredients without mashing the pieces of egg.

Finally, add in a pinch of salt and pepper, and finish mixing it all up. 

Preparing to Serve

At this point, you've done all the hard work.

Now it's as simple as putting the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.

You'll want to leave it in the fridge for at least an hour to make sure everything is at the right temperature.

Once it's chilled, add the crumbled bacon and chopped chives to garnish it off.

And that's it!

Now it's ready to serve.
