    An Easy Egg Salad recipe that's perfect on sandwiches, wraps or a bed of lettuce to keep it low carb. The best egg salad recipe to serve at potlucks, picnics or summer gatherings. Gluten Free, Low Carb, Easy.

    We love a good egg salad recipe for so many reasons!

    But especially since it's super easy to make, high in protein, low in carbs and great on a wrap, bread or crackers.

    Not to mention how delicious it is served on one of these soft almond flour tortillas.

    And it's very versatile, so you can also add in any of your favorite extras to this basic recipe!

    Ingredients needed

    hard boiled eggs, mayo, chopped celery, chopped red onion, diced garlic, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and seasonings.

    Ingredient notes

    • Hard boiled eggs- I know everyone has their favorite way to cook hard boiled eggs, but I highly recommend this egg cooker. It has totally streamlined the process of making hard boiled eggs and they're so much easier to peel.
    • Mayo- you can easily adjust the amount on this by a tablespoon or two if you want it creamier.
    • Red onion, celery, and garlic- make sure to finely dice all your veggies.
    • Dijon mustard- I don't recommend swapping this or leaving it out since it adds a nice tangy flavor to the recipe.
    • Apple cider vinegar- you could swap out with white wine vinegar.
    • Seasonings- garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, & paprika.

    How to make it

    1. Start by chopping the hard boiled eggs, celery, onion, and garlic and add to a mixing bow.
    2. Next add the salad dressing ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
    3. And whisk till thoroughly combined.
    4. Pour over salad and mix.

    Storage notes

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    It should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

    Ways to serve it

    On a sandwich, wrap or a bed of lettuce. It's perfect to have on hand for quick easy meals.

      Egg salad reminds me of summer and I'm counting the days down till schools out. I really like your addition of cayenne pepper to this recipe.

      I've never had egg salad with red onion or Dijon Mustard. I'm definitely going to give this one a try.
