Creamy, tangy, and perfect for everything from snacks to potlucks, this Keto Southern Deviled Egg Salad is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
As much as I love deviled eggs, I have a confession to make: Peeling eggs is one of the kitchen tasks I dislike most. Not because it’s hard work, but because nine times out of 10 I end up ruining those pristine whites. Yes, I know—it’s probably because my eggs are too fresh. And yes, I also know there are plenty of tricks out there to make peeling easier. But honestly, an even simpler solution is to make this keto Southern deviled egg salad instead! No struggling with perfect peels, no piping bags necessary. In other words, you get all the flavor without any of the fuss. I’m all about ease in the kitchen, and this recipe truly delivers whenever I’m craving that Southern-style deviled egg goodness.
Made with tangy Dijon mustard and sugar-free sweet relish, this creamy egg salad is always a crowd-pleaser and great for snacking or easy meals. Plus, it also makes a lovely potluck offering. For extra freshness, stir in some finely chopped herbs like chives (my go-to in this recipe), flat-leaf parsley, or dill.
How to serve this egg salad
Here are some tasty ways to enjoy this egg salad:
- As a delicious dip with crisp veggies such as sliced pink radishes, grape tomatoes, celery and carrot sticks, or sliced cucumbers. It’s also lovely with low-carb crackers or tortilla chips. And if you want some extra protein, go for crisp bacon strips or pork rinds as dippers.
- For lunch, piled on low-carb bread or rolled into a low-carb wrap or crisp lettuce leaf. It’s also delicious stuffed into halved avocados and garnished with microgreens.
- As a potluck option, presented on a bed of crisp greens or spooned into endive leaves.
How do I store leftovers?
Remember that egg salad should never be kept at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing this dish, as the texture will be negatively affected upon thawing.
