Secrets to Nailing This Simple Egg Salad Recipe

Our Keto-Friendly Egg Salad is deceptively simple to make. Just in case you have any lingering questions on this old-school lunch counter classic, here are a few tips to make this sando restaurant-ready.

How to Tell if Eggs are Fresh

The best way to test for freshness? An egg and water test that’ll take you back to the science classroom!

Gently place your eggs in a glass of water. If they float to the top, they should be tossed. If they sink, they’re ready to eat (if they stand on the bottom of the glass, they are no longer at peak freshness, but are still edible).

How Long to Boil Eggs for Egg Salad

Follow this procedure for perfectly boiled eggs: once placed in water, bring your water to a boil. Remove the pan or pot from heat and cover for 15 minutes before placing your eggs into ice water for 5 minutes.

How long does egg salad last in the fridge?

After four or five days, it’s time to toss your egg salad. Keep it tightly covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the work week, and then (if there’s any left!) be sure to throw it out before the weekend.

Is egg salad keto?

While all egg salad recipes are different, our recipe is made with Keto Certified Mayo and Keto Certified Dijon. We used gluten-free brioche bread, so for a keto-friendly take, skip the bread and go for the salad on a bed of greens or paired with your favorite keto-friendly loaf.
