This Keto Avocado Egg Salad is a prime example of that culinary magic. So, let's dive into this delicious and keto-friendly journey together:
Ingredients:
For the Salad:
- 4 large eggs (because we're going for that protein boost)
- 2 ripe avocados (diced, for that creamy goodness)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for a burst of freshness)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for a hint of zing)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (for that extra depth of flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (for a touch of smokiness)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (for a subtle kick)
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (choose a keto-friendly version)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (for that creamy tang)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (for a zesty kick)
Instructions:
1. We'll start by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 9-12 minutes. Once they're done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool. This makes peeling them a breeze!
2. Once the eggs are cool, peel and chop them into small pieces. You want those lovely chunks in your salad.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. These ingredients are going to provide a beautiful contrast of flavors and textures.
4. Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the avocados, onion, and cilantro. It's like a party of textures and flavors coming together!
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. This creamy dressing is the key to making this salad simply irresistible.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure that every ingredient is coated in that creamy goodness.
7. Now, it's time to season your Keto Avocado Egg Salad. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and give it one final toss.
8. Your Keto Avocado Egg Salad is ready to serve! You can enjoy it right away or refrigerate it for a little while to let the flavors meld together even more.
And there you have it, my dear foodies - a Keto Avocado Egg Salad that's not just low in carbs but also a celebration of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The combination of creamy avocado, protein-packed eggs, and that zesty dressing is a pure delight.
