Are Eggs Keto?
Eggs are almost the healthiest foods on the planet because they are extremely nutritious. Despite the misinformation spread all over the media, whole eggs, especially the yolks should be consumed to get all the nutrients.
One large egg(50g) has 71.5 calories, 6.3g protein, and almost 0g carbs. So, eggs are the perfect food to eat on a keto diet because it’s nutrient-dense and super low in carbs.

How to Make Keto Egg Salad?
Making keto egg salad is effortless. Here’s everything you need to do:
- Boil six eggs and let them cool down. You can boil and peel the eggs in advance, refrigerate them until you need to make the salad.
- Chop the eggs and avocado into bite-size pieces and throw them into a medium bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill or chives, salt, and pepper

To keep things light, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and mash the avocado instead of chopping it. The salad will still be creamy and delicious.

Store the leftover keto egg salad in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Do not keep this salad at room temperature for the reason that bacteria grows faster at a higher temperature.

How to Cook Perfect Boiled Eggs?
Boiling eggs sounds like such an easy task but sometimes can be so problematic. They are either not cooked enough, too hard or the peel just won’t come off.
There are a few factors you need to consider when cooking eggs such as initial egg temperature, egg size, the kind of pot you’re using to boil eggs, room temperature, and even altitude.
To boil perfect eggs for egg salad with avocado, place the eggs on the bottom of a saucepan, leaving enough space between them. Fill the pot with cold water, just to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Set a timer to 10 minutes and after the time is over transfer the eggs to ice water to stop the cooking process immediately.
