This DILL PICKLE EGG SALAD makes a great lunch that’s packed with that tangy pickle flavor we all love! This is perfect served in a lettuce wrap, rolled up in a low carb tortilla, or my favorite…as a sandwich on a chaffle! Either way, this makes a great low carb lunch that’s quick, simple, and full of flavor.
As a person that regularly buys 3 dozen eggs every week at the grocery store, I find it incredible that I used to hate eggs.
They freaked me out, if we’re being honest.
But, I have gotten over all of my weird egg issues and now I eat them like it’s nobody’s business.
Boiled eggs make a great snack, but have you even seen my collection of deviled egg recipes?
We’ve got avocado deviled eggs, keto deviled eggs, and fried deviled eggs.
But, sometimes you don’t want a snack…sometimes you want a sandwich and that’s where my dill pickle egg salad comes into play!
This egg salad recipe is divine, you guys! Loads of flavor thanks to the dill pickle, pickle juice, and fresh dill.

You’ll want to boil 6 eggs. You can do this by putting them in a pan with just enough water to cover the eggs and bringing that to a boil. Once the water boils, remove from the heat and cover the pan for 15 minutes. This is the traditional method and it works fine.
My favorite method, though, is to use the Instant Pot. It creates boiled eggs that peel like an absolute dream. The peels just slip right off the eggs.
I put an inch of water in the pot, add the eggs, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a 5 minute natural release. Then I pop the eggs in a bowl of ice water for 5 more minutes. Easy peasy!
Chop up your eggs and add them to a mixing bowl along with some mayonnaise, mustard, plenty of dill pickles, dill pickle juice, dill, and salt and pepper.
This just gets stirred together and it’s ready to go!
You can eat this dill pickle egg salad with a fork, in a low carb tortilla, on a lettuce wrap, or between two chaffles.
How do you make a chaffle?
A basic chaffle is just two ingredients: 1 large egg and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, but when making chaffles for buns I like to add a little almond flour or coconut flour and baking powder to bulk it up and give it more of a bread like texture.
You just whisk the ingredients together and then spoon half into your mini waffle maker and cook for 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter and you have two perfectly sized waffles to double as buns for your sandwich!
What kind of waffle maker do you need?
You are going to want a mini waffle maker for this recipe.
I use the Dash Mini Waffle Maker.
Don’t worry – you can order from Amazon for CHEAP and I almost guarantee you won’t regret the purchase!
It heats quickly, cooks quickly, takes up barely any space, and it comes in a variety of cute colors. I have the aqua.
If you want to make more than 1 mini waffle at a time, check out this one:
If you plan to make chaffles for a family, this should work great! I haven’t tried it myself, but plan to order because my kids are obsessed with chaffles too.

This is my new egg salad fav! I’m not a fan of onions so the pickle adds a great crunch. Also, I wanted to add a little heat so I used zesty pickles and added some spices….amazing! I will be using this recipe for years now!

I love dill! Where do you find fresh dill? This egg salad looks so delicious!! Thanks!!

Our grocery store always carries it with the rest of the fresh herbs, usually near the basil and rosemary. You could also use dried dill, but knock it down to around a teaspoon or so. 🙂
