Egg salad is a staple lunch around here, and serving it on bread sometimes feels a little heavy. It's easy to turn the Best Egg Salad into a low-carb/keto option by serving it alone over lettuce or in lettuce wraps! Serve it alongside Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli or Air Fryer Kale Chips for a balanced low-carb meal! Make it in bulk and eat it all week; this healthy lunch will be a go-to weekday meal!
Making this egg salad couldn't be easier! Here's how...
How to Make KETO Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Make the hard boiled eggs. Try this Instant Pot or Air Fryer Method. Otherwise, make them on a stovetop with boiling water. Peel the hard boiled eggs and coarsely chop them.
- In a bowl, add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped celery, chopped green onions, paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Mix everything well.
- Add the chopped eggs to the mixture, and then fold to combine. Don’t mix too roughly or the eggs will completely fall apart.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve keto egg salad with lettuce wraps/cups.
How to serve Egg Salad (low carb style):
- Eat egg salad with a fork and enjoy!
- Spoon into lettuce wraps for KETO/Low-carb option. Romaine lettuce or bib lettuce work best for lettuce wraps.
- Serve it alongside Air Fryer Hot Dogs (no bun if you are sticking to low carb), Air Fryer Broccoli, Air Fryer Cauliflower, or some Kale Chips!
- Serve with Parmesan crisps and enjoy for a snack!
- Scoop onto cloud bread add lettuce, tomato, and pickles for a delicious sandwich!
- Make an actual salad- spoon egg salad over lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado slices, and your other favorite salad ingredients!
What can I add to Keto egg salad?
There are lots of options on what to add to the classic recipe. Here are some of the most popular additions to the classic recipe: Bacon, chopped onions, olives, green or red peppers, relish or pickles, capers, pickle juice, or spice it up with some hot or buffalo sauce!
How to lighten it up:
- Instead of using all mayonnaise, you can substitute all or part of the mayo for plain non-fat Greek yogurt. This will cut down on the fat and calories while also boosting the protein.
- The taste will change slightly if using all greek yogurt, so I recommend using half mayo and half Greek yogurt.
- Instead of using mayo, use a mixture of Greek yogurt and avocado. This will also lower the fat and calories, and increase the ‘good fats’.
- You can see the recipe for Avocado Egg Salad here!
- Lastly, an easier way to lighten it up is to use low-fat mayonnaise in place of full fat mayonnaise.
