This keto egg salad is everything you love about the classic deli favorite - rich, creamy, and tangy - without the bread or hidden sugars. It's an effortless high-fat, low-carb lunch you can prep ahead and enjoy all week.

Ingredients

8 large eggs

1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 stalk celery, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel under cool running water and pat dry.

Roughly chop the eggs and add them to a large mixing bowl. For a creamier texture, mash about a third of the eggs with a fork while leaving the rest in chunks.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, chives, dill, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Fold everything together gently until evenly coated.

Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Tips & notes

Serve in lettuce cups, over leafy greens, or with sliced cucumber and pork rinds for scooping to keep it fully low-carb.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days - perfect for keto meal prep. Do not freeze, as mayonnaise separates when thawed.

For extra richness, swap 2 tablespoons of mayo for mashed avocado or full-fat Greek yogurt; both keep it keto-friendly.
