Devilled Egg Salad

I love deviled eggs, but why spend hours garnishing eggs when you can make a quick deviled egg salad to feed a crowd!

This egg salad has all the flavor of deviled eggs but is so much easier to make to feed the whole family for dinner in no time.

How To Make Deviled Egg Salad

If you love egg salads, you will adore this deviled egg salad version that combines the two favorite dishes into one nourishing salad recipe.

Ingredients

All you need to make this egg salad are:

Devilled Egg Salad

Boiling The Eggs

First, fill a large saucepan with water to make hard boiled eggs. Bring water to a boil.

Place the fresh eggs in the boiling water.

Boil your eggs into a large saucepan filled with boiling water.

Boil for 15 minutes, then immediately cool down the eggs into an ice bath.

To do so, fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Or make my air fryer-boiled eggs recipe.

Then, peel the eggs under running cold tap water.

Place two eggs on a chopping board and slice them in half lengthwise.

Scoop out the egg yolks from these two eggs and set them aside in a  small bowl. You will use this later in the devil dressing.

Roughly chop the remaining eggs and the two cooked egg whites from previous eggs.

Place the egg pieces into another large bowl.

Chopping Vegetables

Now, chop thinly celery, red bell pepper, and pickles, and place into the bowl with the chopped egg whites.

Preparing The Deviled Egg Salad Dressing

A deviled egg salad dressing is essentially an egg salad dressing but with some cooked egg yolk mixed in and a stronger touch of paprika.

All you need to make the paprika mayonnaise dressing are:

  • Mayonnaise – Either classic mayo or aioli.
  • Dijon mustard
  • Yolks from the two boiled eggs
  • Paprika – you can use smoked paprika for a smoked egg salad flavor
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Salt
  • Cayenne Pepper – Season to taste.
  • Hot sauce
  • Dill or green onion or any fresh herbs you love
  • Garlic

Use a fork to mash the two cooked egg yolks.

Then, stir in the remaining dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, hot sauce, dill, and garlic.

Stir the yolk mixture well to bring everything together into a creamy dressing.

Pour the dressing onto the salad bowl.

Serving

Stir all the ingredients together until the dressing coat all the chopped eggs and chopped vegetables.

Serve the egg salad as a side dish to smoked cauliflower or grilled meat or bake meat like my baked pork chops.

You can also use this egg salad to make an egg salad sandwich recipe.

Egg Salad Sandwich

To use this recipe as a sandwich filling you need:

  • Two Slices of your Favorite Bread – Wholemeal bread is a healthy choice or keto bread for a low-carb egg sandwich.
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato Slices

For a toasted sandwich, start by spreading butter on each slice of bread on the outside.

Place the two slices of bread on a plate, butter side down the plate.

Fill the bread with lettuce, egg salad, tomato slices, and more lettuce. Add some cheddar slices if desired.

Slightly toast the sandwich or serve cold.

Lettuce Wrap

You can also serve this egg salad into cos lettuce to make cute appetizers or light lunch.

Add-Ons

You can customize this egg salad recipe by adding some other vegetables or proteins into it like:

  • Chopped Avocado for an avocado egg salad flavor
  • Cooked Rotisserie Chicken for a boost of proteins
  • Smoked Salmon
  • Cherry Tomatoes – chopped
  • Sundried Tomatoes
  • Jammy Eggs – if you like eggs a lot, you can add even more eggs with a couple of jammy eggs.

Allergy Swaps

This deviled egg salad is naturally:

  • Gluten-Free
  • Dairy-Free
  • Keto-Friendly
  • Low-Carb
  • Sugar-Free

Below I listed some options to make this recipe if you have some food allergy.

  • Mayonnaise-Free – you can swap the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a healthier option. It reduces saturated fat and boosts the proteins of your salad.
  • Sodium-Free – feel free to skip the salt in the recipe if needed.
