Keto-Friendly Egg Salad with Antibiotic-Free Pasture-Raised Eggs

8 Keto Egg Salad Recipes Made with Antibiotic-Free, Pasture-Raised Eggs for Nutrient-Dense, Low-Carb Meals

As someone fully committed to the keto lifestyle, I find myself gravitating toward dishes that are simple yet packed with the kind of nutrition my body needs. Egg salad has become my absolute go-to, not only because it’s rich in healthy fats and protein but because, thanks to Tyner Pond Farm’s pasture-raised eggs, it’s also nutrient-dense and bursting with natural goodness. I eat it often, and the more I experiment with different recipes, the more I realize how versatile and satisfying egg salad can be. Our pasture-raised eggs bring so much to the table nutritionally. When hens are raised on fresh pasture, foraging daily, their eggs offer higher levels of vitamins like A and E, plus Omega-3 fatty acids, all of which contribute to my goals of a nutrient-rich diet. This approach supports my keto lifestyle, allowing me to focus on quality over quantity. I find that nutrient-dense foods like this truly keep me satiated and energized. Here are a few of my favorite egg salad recipes, each one adapted to fit my keto needs and my love for wholesome, straightforward flavors.

Classic Keto Egg Salad

This is my go-to when I want something straightforward. It’s easy, quick, and consistently hits the spot.

Ingredients:

  • 6 pasture-raised eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (homemade or keto-friendly)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a dash of smoked paprika for depth

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add a sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired. Mix everything well and enjoy over a bed of greens or in lettuce wraps for an easy keto lunch.

Creamy Avocado Egg Salad

For a variation with a boost of healthy fats, this avocado egg salad is perfect. The avocado adds a creamy texture and a satisfying richness without needing much mayonnaise.

Ingredients:

  • 6 pasture-raised eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)

In a large bowl, mash the avocado and lemon juice together until smooth. Add the chopped eggs and mayonnaise (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Gently fold everything together. Serve on cucumber slices or enjoy as-is.

Crunchy Celery and Herb Egg Salad

For a bit of texture, I like to add celery and fresh herbs to the mix. This version brings a fresh, crisp element to the creamy eggs, balancing the flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 6 pasture-raised eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 stalk of celery, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced jalapeño for extra heat

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper. Add the chopped eggs and gently mix until well-coated. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in diced jalapeño if you’re looking for an extra kick.
