How to make Egg salad
- Place the eggs into water and bring the water to boil on high heat. When the water starts to boil reduce the heat and continue to cook the eggs until the inside is completely hardened. The whole process shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes. If the eggs are fresh add a half teaspoon of baking soda to the water. It will help taking the shell off the eggs.
- While the eggs are cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop the onions up.
- Make the mayonnaise. For detailed instructions on how to make mayonnaise check out our Low carb condiments section.
- Cool the eggs and peel them. If we are lucky then we can peel the eggs quickly by shaking them in the pot with some cold water and the lid on.
- Cut the eggs up into 6 to 12 pieces and place them into a bowl.
- Add the onions with some salt and optional pepper.
- Finally fold in the mayonnaise and it’s done. Put it into the fridge in an airtight container and use it up in 6 days.
