    Deviled Egg Salad

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Where has this Deviled Egg Salad been all my life?  David loves deviled eggs but truth be told I am not a fan of making them. Enter this brilliant idea to make Deviled Egg Salad!  He devoured it and it is so much easier. It tastes exactly the same!  Now when he asks for deviled eggs I am happy to whip up this 15 minute deviled egg salad.  If you are a deviled egg fan you simply must try this recipe too.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Simple and delicious: Whether you are making this for breakfast, lunch or dinner it is sure to please! So easy to make and bursting with all the flavors of a tasty deviled egg salad.

    Minimal ingredients: You can't beat two ingredients plus a few spices. One bowl to mix it all up and it is ready to enjoy.

    Paleo and Whole30 compatible: It is Paleo and Whole30 which means it is dairy free and gluten free. This makes it perfect for a variety of dietary lifestyles.

    Ingredients You Will Need

    Eggs: Eggs are a good source of protein and vitamins. They are one of the few foods that should be classified as "superfoods". They are essential for deviled egg salad.

    Avocado oil mayonnaise: Avocado oil mayonnaise offers a unique creamy texture and a healthier fat profile.

    Dry mustard powder: Mustard powder is made by grinding yellow mustard seeds. It is an aromatic, sharply flavored seed belonging to the cabbage family. It's spicy flavor is reminiscent of horseradish or wasabi.

    Paprika: Paprika is a mildly flavored spice that adds a depth of flavor. It is prized for its brilliant red color. Unlike smoked paprika, it is a little sweeter.

    Salt and pepper: The flavor of a dish is enhanced by salt. It elevates various flavor profiles. Ground black pepper adds a gentle heat.

    Instructions

    Chop eggs: I like to use an egg slicer and slice the eggs in both directions. This creates a more uniform chopped egg. Place the chopped eggs in a bowl to start the deviled egg salad.

    Add mayonnaise: Add your mayonnaise and all of the spice to the bowl.

    Mix: Gently mix everything with a spatula until well combined.

    Sprinkle with paprika: I like to sprinkle with a pinch more of paprika for garnish.

    Enjoy!

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    Egg slicer: I like to slice my eggs in a slicer both lengthwise and horizontally. This creates a beautiful evenly diced egg for the deviled egg salad.

    Double the recipe: I will often double this recipe so I have enough for lunches for the week.

    Recipe Variations

    Smoked paprika: Swapping paprika for smoked paprika will lend a nice earthy flavor to the deviled egg salad.

    Parsley: To add an herby freshness to this deviled egg salad, try some chopped fresh flat leaf parsley. I love adding it especially when we have it from the garden.

    Storage Tips

    Deviled egg salad: This salad can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. Place it in a sealed airtight glass container.

    FAQs About Deviled Egg Salad

    Can I use regular mustard instead of dried?

    I don’t recommend it for this recipe. You would need a large amount of regular mustard and it will make the salad too watery.

    What do I serve with deviled egg salad?

    The best way to enjoy this salad is on some delicious bread. However, if you are following Paleo or Whole30, you can swap bread for butter lettuce or crackers. Simple Mills almond crackers are a great option.

    Can I freeze egg salad?

    It is best to consume this deviled egg salad fresh but it can be frozen! It will only last a month or so in the freezer for optimal freshness. I have never tried this as it barely lasts 2-3 days in our house!
