Ingredient Notes
We are starting our egg and acovado salad with hard boiled eggs and avocado, adding in some dijon mustard and mayo, and then seasoning it with dill, chives, salt and pepper to create an amazing keto salad that you are sure to love.
- hard boiled eggs - cooked, cooled, and chopped
- avocado - chopped
- mayo
- dijon mustard
- fresh dill - diced
- chives, diced
- fine sea salt
- black pepper
Variations
- Dijon Mustard - While we prefer it, you can swap the dijon for another mustard variety include stone ground or yellow.
- Mayo - To make avocado egg salad without mayo, just completely leave it out since the avocado adds creaminess. You could also substitute the mayo with olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, or by adding a small amount of additional mustard to your dish.
- Fresh herbs - We do prefer to work with fresh herbs for this dish, but you can substitute dried. The substitution is 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs equals 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.

Recipe Tips
- For best results, allow your hard boiled eggs to cool completely before making them into egg and avocado salad.
- While the mayo adds to the creaminess of the salad, you can skip it due to the avocado.
- You can adjust the texture of your salad by cutting the avocado and egg smaller or larger, or mashing it more or less with a fork.
- Serve immediatley or allow your keto avocado egg salad to chill in the fridge before serving.
- If you are meal-prepping, we recommend you don't add the avocado until the day you are eating as avocado doesn't store well in the fridge once it is cut or mashed.
Common Questions
While you can certainly eat your keto avocado egg salad with just a fork and a smile, many do prefer to serve it with something else. Common options include a bed of lettuce with some tomatoes, on bread (or keto bread), on crackers, in a wrap, or as a dip with vegetable slices.
You can store hard boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 7 days, but the avocado will start turning brown shortly after you cut into it. For best results, we recommend eating the avocado egg salad the day you make it but if stored properly (in a covered, air-tight container) it should last up to 48 hours.
