Ingredients
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and mashed
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
How to Make Keto Avocado Egg Salad Step by Step
Step 1: Start by boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let them sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: While the eggs cook, cook your turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Set it on a paper towel to cool, then crumble it into small pieces.
Step 3: In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. You want some texture in there — don’t make it too smooth.
Step 4: Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the mashed avocado and mix well. The lemon juice keeps the avocado from browning and adds a bright, fresh flavor.
Step 5: Fold in the chopped eggs gently. You don’t want to crush them — just mix until everything is evenly coated in that creamy avocado base.
Step 6: Toss in the crumbled turkey bacon, fresh dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne if you like a little kick. Give it one final gentle stir.
Step 7: Serve it right away on lettuce wraps, inside a low-carb tortilla, on top of cucumber slices, or just grab a spoon and enjoy it straight from the bowl. No judgment here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this egg salad really keto-friendly? Absolutely. With avocado as the base instead of mayo, you get healthy fats, almost zero carbs, and plenty of protein from the eggs and turkey bacon. It fits perfectly into a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
Can I use regular bacon instead of turkey bacon? Of course. Regular bacon works great and is actually even more keto-friendly since it’s higher in fat. Turkey bacon is just a lighter option for those who prefer it. For more keto meal ideas and swaps, take a look at my 90+ recipe digital cookbook.
How long does this egg salad last in the fridge? It’s best eaten fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent the avocado from browning.
Can I add other ingredients? Yes. Diced celery, red onion, jalapeño, or cherry tomatoes all make great additions. Just keep the portions small so the creamy avocado flavor stays front and center.
What’s the best way to serve this for meal prep? Keep the salad and your serving base separate until you’re ready to eat. Store the egg salad in individual containers and add lettuce wraps or cucumber slices fresh each day.
