Keto Deviled Egg Salad Recipe (Low Carb, Vegetarian)

This keto deviled egg salad is a fun twist on classic egg salad – and is low carb and keto. Great on a lettuce wrap or a sandwich! 
 
This is one of our favorite keto vegetarian recipes we keep coming back to! It’s creamy, easy to make, and inexpensive.
 
 
I love the classic appetizer of deviled eggs – I grew up having them every holiday, and still love to make them today. While deviled eggs are a super retro dish, I’ve updated this version into an egg salad that is great to enjoy on a sandwich, in a lettuce wrap, or as a dip for crackers or crudites.
 
This is an updated version of classic deviled eggs, which are so enjoyably retro. I love grabbing old school cookbooks when I go to book sales, and deviled eggs pop up in the Appetizers section of every 1950’s cookbook around. This egg salad takes the ‘work’ out of deviled eggs: no need to perfectly cut the eggs, scoop the yolk dressing, and no need to perfectly peel each egg. Everything gets combined in one bowl, so the flavors are there without any precise chopping/mixing/filling.

This Keto Deviled Egg Salad Is

  • Creamy
  • Crunchy
  • Savory
  • A modern version of classic deviled eggs
  • Keto and low carb
  • Vegetarian

What’s In this Deviled Egg Salad?

I included all the ingredients I’d add to my classic Deviled Eggs recipe, and also added some extra veggies for crunch!
 
I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market  – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can save extra by signing up here!
  • Hardboiled eggs: if you need the perfect recipe for easy peel, no mess hardboiled eggs check out my recipe here, I swear by this method!
  • Celery: finely chopped to give you salad a nice crunch. Celery is something I always include in my regular egg salad, and gives the salad a nice refreshing bite
  • Onion: also finely chopped.  If you don’t like raw onion, then you can skip this ingredient and double up on the celery.  I didn’t eat onions for years (a dark period in my life) but now I fully embrace them in every form
  • Classic Mayonnaise: I like to use this classic mayo for a delicious and creamy flavor. If you don’t normally like mayo, try my homemade dairy-free version… it’s creamy but still plant based.
  • Yellow Mustard  – while I normally like cooking with whole grain or Dijon mustard, sometimes a good classic yellow mustard is exactly what you need!  I love that this organic yellow mustard gives this recipe a wonderful tangy flavor.
  • Relish: you can use sweet relish or a dill version (check sugar content if you are keto!)
  • Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.

I’ll call this recipe another one of my Midwestern Fusion classics: its a combination of Deviled Eggs and Normal Egg Salad. My last attempt at Midwestern Fusion was my delish Coleslaw Pasta Salad which combines 2 of my summer favorites into one dish.

How Do I Make This Low Carb Deviled Egg Salad?

  1. In a large bowl, add the hardboiled eggs.  With a fork, mash the eggs a few times each to break them up into smaller pieces.
  2. Add the celery, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, and relish.  Stir well to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats the eggs and veggies.
  3. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.  Sprinkle the top with paprika.  Serve as a sandwich or lettuce wrap, enjoy!

This is super easy lunch to meal prep for the week. You can cook a big batch of this on Sunday night, mix and store in an airtight container, and enjoy throughout the week.  This egg salad is great on a big lettuce wrap, or served just as a normal sandwich filling.  Its also great to eat as a cracker dip, so dip away!

Make Deviled Egg Salad Vegetarian for a Healthy Version

This vegetarian deviled egg salad is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. 

By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.

Recipes That Use Up Eggs

This recipe is also a great way to use eggs that are close to expiration: just hard-boil them and prep them into this salad. Hardboiled eggs are one of my favorite go-to breakfasts, and if I have extra they always get turned into egg salad.  I love the retro flavors in this deviled egg salad, such a fun update to a classic dish!

Low Carb Deviled Egg Salad

This delicious and satisfying deviled egg salad recipe is great for those who are watching their carb intake.  You can still have a healthy and filling lunch without the added starches.  I love that the dressing is so flavorful, too – and loaded with traditional Asian ingredients like rice vinegar and sesame oil.  You can see all my low carb & keto recipes here!

Dietary Modifications

This recipe is vegetarian, but if you wanted to make it vegan you can easily swap out the eggs for crumbled tofu (Tofu ‘Egg’ Salad is one of my favorite recipes, its actually delish!!)

And this is also keto and low carb, just make sure you check the sugar content of the relish you use in the dish.  If you can’t find a sugar free relish, then chopped dill pickles are a great substitute.

This deviled egg salad is also dairy free, just make sure the mayo you are using doesn’t have any dairy in there.
