Ingredients
There are only a handful of ingredients in keto egg salad. This keto egg salad is made with hard boiled eggs, mayo, Dijon mustard, green onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and an optional splash of pickle juice.
We prefer Dijon over regular mustard as it has a much stronger flavor. We also use it in our sugar free salad dressing recipe.
If you’re not a fan of pickle juice or you like your egg salad on the dry side, you can leave it out.

This tastes best after it’s had at least an hour to chill out in the fridge, but you can eat it right away if you’re in a hurry. Store tightly covered for up to 3 days.
