Ingredients for the Keto Egg Salad
I love to make a few tweaks to the classic egg salad recipe to make it healthier and filling. Avocado gives a creamy texture and adds tons of flavor. You can leave the avocado out if you are not a big fan.
- 1 large avocado, ripe, pitted and peeled
- 3 eggs, boiled and chopped
- 6 cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 green onion sliced into thin rounds
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika powder
As you can see, I didn’t use any mayonnaise because it’s hard to find one at the supermarket that’s sugar-free, has healthy fats that are keto and doesn’t have any fillers.
If you want you can replace the sour cream with homemade mayonnaise or with avocado oil mayonnaise that is keto compliant and can be ordered on Amazon.
Sometimes I love to add fresh dill or fresh parsley to my keto egg salad to enhance the taste and boost the healing properties.
