Avocado Egg Salad (Keto)

The magic of this Avocado Egg Salad recipe is really making it so creamy and flavorful without having to use mayonnaise, which most egg salads come with to guarantee that creaminess. And this is exactly what makes it yummy AND keto!

A key ingredient that might be overlooked to make this salad super creamy is avocado oil. Yes, it is an avocado salad, but that slight touch of avocado oil will enhance its creaminess and will help the eggs stick together with the avocado chunks.

It is a VERY easy recipe to make as the most "difficult" part of making it is the part where you boil the eggs...which is not difficult at all.

Let's take a super quick look at the ingredients...

Ingredients

• HAAS avocados – We find that HAAS avocados have such a distinct flavor over other kinds that it is often our preferred option for our recipes. However, feel free to pick whichever kind is your favorite.
• Eggs – As usual, prefer it to be organic and coming from pasture raised and free range chicken with no antibiotics.
• Avocado oil – This is the KEY ingredient that makes it look so creamy without removing the recipe's keto-ness while keeping its avocado essence.
• Lemons – To use their juice for the salad and give it that flavor contrast.
• Sea salt – We prefer sea salt over table salt given the fact that it's the least processed one.
• Black ground pepper – Along with the salt, a seasoning ingredient that must not be missed. Make sure it’s a high quality one.
• Minced red onions – For flavor contrast, looks and a health boost!
• Chives – Veggie addition that when combined with parsley will make this salad not even need to go with anything else.
• Parsley – Perfect combo with chives for this avocado egg salad!
• Lettuce – This would be the wrapper for the salad, if you want to use one. This one is optional.

Preparation

As we said before, the most "difficult" part of this recipe is where you boil the eggs in water...if that can be considered difficult.

However, it's worth noting that we recommend you hard boil the eggs to make a consistent mix when you combine them with the other ingredients in a mixing bowl.

It would really be a mess if you boil them anything less than hard because all the yolk would spread around the salad and the end result would no be as we intend it to be.

In short, here are the steps to prepare this avocado egg sald:

1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Mix ingredients in a mixing bowl (except for the avocado oil, lettuce and the eggs).
3. Hard boil the eggs in the boiling water.
4. Dice the boiled eggs.
5. Pour the diced boiled eggs in mixing bowl with the previously mixed ingredients.
6. Stir well while pouring avocado oil until creamy.
7. Wrap it with lettuce or serve it with lettuce as a side.
