Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Salad Mixture
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1/4 cup celery or chives (optional, finely diced)
Instructions
- Cook Hard Boiled Eggs: For air frying, place eggs in the air fryer basket and cook at 250°F for about 16 minutes. For stovetop, place eggs in a pot, cover with water by an inch or two, boil, then turn off heat and let sit 10-12 minutes.
- Cool Eggs: Immediately transfer cooked eggs to a bowl of ice cold water for at least 5 minutes until cool.
- Peel Eggs: Gently tap, roll and crack the eggshell, then peel off carefully.
- Separate Yolks: Cut eggs in half, place yolks in a small bowl, and finely crumble with a fork.
- Chop Egg Whites: Chop the whites into small pieces and set aside.
- Mix Dressing: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar to crumbled yolks and mix well.
- Combine Mixture: Fold in chopped egg whites and optional celery or chives until combined.
- Serve: Enjoy your egg salad on lettuce leaves, low-carb tortillas, thin-sliced bread, or chaffles.
Notes
- Air fryer cooking time may vary based on your model; test with one or two eggs first.
- Using ice water after boiling stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
- Feel free to adjust mayonnaise quantity to your desired creaminess.
- Add celery or chives for extra texture and freshness.
- This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly.
