Ingredients

For the Salad

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably avocado oil based for healthier fats)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or green onions)
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

• Lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
• Avocado slices
• Paprika (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn off the heat. Let them sit for 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling: Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.

3. Mix Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped chives, diced celery, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently fold everything together until well combined.

🥄 Be careful not to overmix the salad; you want to maintain some texture from the chopped eggs and veggies rather than turning it into a mushy mixture.

4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as necessary; feel free to add more mayo or mustard for creaminess or tanginess as desired.

5. Serve: Arrange the salad on a platter or individual lettuce leaves for easy, low-carb wraps. Top with avocado slices and a sprinkle of paprika for an extra pop of flavor.

🥑 Using ripe avocados not only adds creaminess but also increases the healthy fat content of the dish, making it more satisfying!

Variations

• Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture for a spicy kick! 🔥
• Herby: Consider adding fresh dill, parsley, or even dill relish for an extra burst of flavor!
• Bacon Lover: Crumble a couple of slices of crispy bacon into the salad for a smoky crunch! 🥓
• Paleo: Substitute the mayo with a homemade avocado or cashew cream to keep it strict paleo-friendly.

Enjoy this refreshing Low Carb Deviled Egg Salad as a delicious way to stay on track with your diet while still enjoying a satisfying meal! Perfect for any occasion or even just a quick lunch! 🥗✨
