This classic egg salad with dill is both flavorful and low carb. The herb dill goes well with both eggs and mayonnaise. It also doesn't clash with any of the usual things egg salad is served with.
For me, this is the best egg salad recipe. It's great for making an egg salad sandwich, serving with crackers or on a bed of lettuce
Creamy dill egg salad with greens and tomato makes a great high protein light lunch.
Easy Egg Salad with Dill Recipe: Inexpensive Protein
I will boil up a dozen eggs every few weeks, and we add them to garden salads, eat a few on the fly and I'll make a small batch of egg salad with dill as well. I love dill, it tastes like spring to me and just using dill is far more delicate in flavor than a dill pickle egg salad.
This dill egg salad recipe is an inexpensive way to add protein to your diet. The recipe is great for those of us who are eating mostly organic, keto or simply low carb and low sugar. Serve over greens as I have shown or pair with a cold side like Dill Pickle Pasta Salad or Asian Cucumber Salad.
As long as you use real mayonnaise, not a sweetened whip, the recipe is keto compliant.
Dill Egg Salad: The Herb Boost
Dill even dried has such a fresh taste. It nearly screams spring as you bite into it and the smooth flavor teams up perfectly with both eggs and mayonnaise.
While dried dill
was used in this particular egg salad recipe for convenience sake, fresh works just as well, if not better.
If you are not watching carbs you will still find adding dill weed will elevate your homemade egg salad sandwich.

Love everything about hard boiled eggs and egg salad, minus having to remove the shells. That alone keeps me from making those items, but I miss eating them, especially after seeing your mouthwatering recipe. Any tricks to share?
