Keto Winter Egg Salad
Classic egg salad is delicious, but this Keto winter egg salad is even better! Creamy and packed with flavor, this Keto winter salad is very simple to make and requires ingredients that are most likely already in your fridge. What's more it takes only 30 minutes to assemble.
How can you customize this Keto winter egg salad recipe?
This Keto winter egg salad is made with a few simple ingredients. Therefore, it can be easily customized by adding more roasted vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, or carrots. Other elements that can be added to this salad include mushrooms, spinach, and olives. Capers or pickled cucumbers are also a great addition to this Keto winter egg salad. To add a cheesy flavor, add shredded cheddar cheese. To add some crunch, feel free to add some slivered almonds. Finally, for a spicy kick, add some finely diced jalapeño peppers.
How to make this Keto winter salad?
This Keto winter egg salad is straightforward and quick to make. It comes together in just 30 minutes. Start by roasting the cauliflower in the oven until just slightly charred. Meanwhile, boil the eggs, peel the shells, and dice them into cubes while rendering the bacon and cutting the avocado. Then, make the mayonnaise sauce and shred the lettuce. Finally, layer the ingredients on a serving plate, starting with the shredded lettuce, then the egg salad mix, and garnish with the crispy bacon.
How to store this Keto winter salad?
Since this salad involves raw avocadoes, generally known to brown easily when stored, it is best to make it fresh whenever you are ready to eat. However, when necessary, avoid adding the avocado to the salad and instead freshly cut the avocado when you are about to serve. That way, the egg salad can, at most, last in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for about 1 day. An alternative to storing this Keto winter salad is to keep the ingredients in separate air-tight containers; hard boil the eggs, shred the lettuce, make the mayonnaise sauce, and assemble the salad ingredients when you are ready to eat.
