Deviled Egg Salad is a fun twist on traditional egg salad! It’s packed with flavor, low carb, and makes a great lunch.
I can’t imagine living a low carb life without eggs. They’re the perfect food, if you ask me!
Low in carbs, packed with protein, and so versatile.
We often have scrambled or fried eggs for breakfast, avocado egg salad for lunch, boiled eggs for a snack, and deviled eggs with dinner.
We eat a lot of eggs in our house, is what I’m saying.
My keto deviled eggs are a favorite, thanks to the addition of bacon and cheddar!
This deviled egg salad is a mash up of classic deviled eggs and egg salad and I couldn’t love it more!
How to make deviled egg salad:
First, you’ll want to boil some eggs.
I like to use my Instant Pot for this. I pop the eggs in with a cup of water and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. I do a 5 minute natural release and then a 5 minute ice bath. This method always produces perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs that are easy to peel!
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can pop your eggs in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for 15 minutes before removing to an ice bath. This makes for nicely cooked eggs, but they can be a bit trickier to peel, which is why I always prefer the Instant Pot method.
After your eggs are boiled, cooled, and peeled, slice them in half and pop the yolks out into a small bowl. Chop the whites into bite sized pieces.
To make the dressing, you’ll want to add mayo, pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper to the yolks and mash it all together to form a smooth dressing.
Pour that mixture over the chopped egg whites and stir to combine.
Easy peasy!
I like to serve this in a lettuce wrap or with my low carb crackers for dipping! This makes a great lunch and it’s very filling.

I just grate the whole hard boiled eggs and then add the mayo etc. We substitute pickle juice for the vinegar. If you want a thousand island taste substitute sugar free ketchup for the mustard.

Stuffed chicken breast was fantastic!!
Will be making this again
Clayton Millis says
This calls for pickle relish which one is it dill relish or sweet relish I’ve seen different brands call it something different from the others.
Karly Campbell says
The recipe specifically calls for dill pickle relish. If you use sweet, you’ll want to use one that is sugar free or know that the carb count will be different.
Tammy says
For a sweet pickle relish I buy the regular dill relish and put a few drops of liquid Stevia to taste so Iโm not missing out on the โsweetโ pickle relish flavor!
Karly Campbell says
Great idea!
Tobius Holmes says
Love this recipe! I love eggs and am always looking for egg recipes.
Keep up the great work and recipes.

Thanks, Tobius!

Made this today for Easter and it was really tasty. I was out of relish so chopped up some (homemade) dill pickles instead and used a German brown mustard so the color was a little less vibrant. I added a few chives (a common garnish for deviled eggs) just because I had them. The small amount of vinegar is what really brings everything together (I forgot to add it at first and after tasting thought it was missing something – it was!) Thanks for posting.
Karly Campbell says
So glad you enjoyed this one. I’m sure it was great with he brown mustard and chives! ๐
Leslie England says
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Made it today and served it over the Everything Bagel Chaffle. It was wonderful.
Lexi says
Hi the mustard – powdered or the one in the jar? This sounds so yummy!
Karly Campbell says
It’s prepapred mustard in a jar or squeeze bottle. ๐
Gail says
Your recipes look so delicious and easy. My husband is the cook in our house and I will be showing him these recipes and maybe even head to the kitchen with him. Thank you so much

I just discovered your webpage and I”m enjoying the recipes. I want to thank you for sharing and I realize you need to make a profit, but with all the advertising on the page it makes it difficult to navigate and becomes quite annoying. Having to literally close 5 ads just to scroll down and view the recipe is overload. I just scrolled up and down again and counted 13 ads. Again, thanks for providing this recipe.
Karly Campbell says
Hi Jeremiah!
Thanks for the feedback. When you say ‘close 5 ads’ do you mean ads are popping up over the content or are you talking about ads inside the content that you scroll past?
It’s tough finding a good balance of ads and keeping readers happy, so I’m always tweaking. There shouldn’t be ads popping up, so I’ll definitely look into that.
Stephanie Rivera says
Same here as well. Ads popped up atleast 3 times while scrolling. I’m about to try this recipe!
Bev says
Not good for one who’s bad cholesterol is almost 3 times the amount it should be. I had to cut eggs out of my diet but oh that recipe is GREAT!
Andrea says
Great idea! I love egg salad, and deviled egg salad in lettuce wraps sounds like the perfect low-carb meal.
DONALD J MOSS says
Hopefully, the mayo is soy free or all is lost. Soy promotes estrogen, a very anti-keto, anti-testosterone result. Also, avoid vegetable oils, such as canola and sunflower, grapeseed and peanut, to name four, cheap for the manufacturer, but not for health.
Karly Campbell says
This site isn’t dedicated to clean keto – it’s a low carb blog with recipes that also sometimes fit into a keto way of eating. You can choose which products you use yourself to suit your diet. ๐
Patrick says
False. Soy doesn’t affect testosterone.
Nice recipe.

YUM!! I am going to make this right now (don’t have relish in the house) but I can still make this! Yum! Thank you!
caren gittleman says
I’m going to use smoked paprika too……….eggs are boiling now!
caren gittleman says
It’s delicious! Had no lettuce in the house and didn’t have my “Ak” sesame crackers that I love, but I put it on one of my thin multi-grain buns…eating it now…delicious!! xoxo
Karly Campbell says
Yay! Hope you enjoy!
