Carnivore Creamy Egg Salad Dip Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs (hard-boiled)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably made with egg yolks, or choose a high-quality, no-sugar-added version)
- 2 tbsp sour cream (optional, for added creaminess)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (optional, for richness)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for a bit of color and flavor)
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Boil the eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9-10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water and cool them under cold running water or by placing them in an ice bath.
-
Peel and chop the eggs:
- Once the eggs are cooled, peel them and chop them into small pieces (bite-sized chunks work best for dipping).
-
Prepare the creamy mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream (if using), Dijon mustard, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
-
Combine the eggs with the creamy mixture:
- Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the creamy mixture and stir gently to combine. You want to keep the eggs mostly intact, so don’t overmix.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Carnivore Creamy Egg Salad Dip in a bowl, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional).
- Enjoy it as a dip for carnivore-friendly snacks like bacon strips, cooked meats, or carnivore crackers.
Tips:
- More creaminess: If you want an even richer dip, add extra butter or more mayonnaise to the mixture.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the flavor by adding more mustard or a dash of hot sauce if you like a bit of spice.
- Make-ahead: This dip stores well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, making it great for meal prep.
This Carnivore Creamy Egg Salad Dip is rich, satisfying, and full of flavor. Perfect for snacking on throughout the day or as a side for any carnivore meal! Enjoy! 😋
