Keto Avocado Egg Salad: Low-Carb Creamy Lunch Ready in 10 Minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (use avocado oil mayo for keto-friendly)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 small celery stalk, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or dill, chopped (optional but recommended)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Butter lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the eggs: If you haven’t already, hard-boil the eggs. Cool them, peel, and chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Mash the avocado: In a mixing bowl, scoop out the avocado. Add lemon juice, mayonnaise, and Dijon. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks for texture.
  • Season the base: Stir in salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes if using. Taste and adjust the seasoning now while it’s easy to blend.
  • Add crunch and aromatics: Fold in the celery, red onion, and fresh herbs. These add brightness and depth without extra carbs.
  • Fold in the eggs: Gently mix in the chopped eggs. Don’t overmix—keep some chunks for a satisfying bite.
  • Serve: Spoon onto butter lettuce leaves, pile on low-carb toast, wrap in a low-carb tortilla, or eat straight from the bowl.
