Keto Green Goddess Avocado Egg Salad Wrap

This keto avocado egg salad has smashed avocado, Greek yogurt AND mayo, dill, and a ton of protein!

Let’s Wrap About Protein

Knowing what your body needs is a tough thing and I will be the first to admit that, at times, I struggle too. There are a handful of folks out there that need to be told what to eat, how much to eat, and how often to eat it. I am one of those folks, folks! I need to make a conscious decision to eat enough of the 9 essential amino acids that my body cannot produce…daily.

I have more of a sweet tooth than a meat tooth…and I have a veggie tooth. I do have a cheese tooth but it’s way in the back, behind my cocktail tooth. 

One of the easiest ways for me to increase protein is HBE (hard-boiled eggs) and my FAVORITE way to get my HBE down is in a keto Green Goddess Egg Salad! The MAYO and the HERBS are really what makes it great, but then I was like…more PROTEIN?! Greek. Yogurt. 

I found an avocado egg salad spin from Pinch of Yum and I was inspired to make the GREENEST and GODDESS-IEST of egg salad wraps for gluten-free vegetarian protein seekers! With dill! PLUS- for any vegans who don’t mind carbs, this would be delicious with chickpeas…

How to Cook A Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg

For egg salad, you don’t want to overcook your eggs! An overcooked egg is dry and…unpleasant. Here’s my favorite method:

• STEP ONE: Place eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Turn the heat to high and bring the pot to a boil.
• STEP TWO: Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover. Set a timer for 8 minutes.
• STEP THREE: Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel.

EASY EGG SALAD HACK: Buy them pre-boiled and peeled, which I do occasionally (weekly).

Prepping Your Avocado Egg Salad

I don’t recommend smashing the avocado into oblivion because it gets pasty and brown. Simply mash it gently and allow it to fold gently into the Greek yogurt and dill. Then, fold that into the eggs with a dollop of mayo for good measure.

NOW you can wrap it with a collard green (stem removed and blanched), or drop a large leafy lettuce cup. Spoon it on a salad…Spoon it on a spoon… your call!

Wrapping Your Keto Egg Salad

Not everyone loves collard greens as a wrap because they can be tough. You will want to blanch them before eating. That begin said, there are plenty of other options to wrap your fillings!

• Leaf Lettuce Cups or Stuffed in a Bell Pepper
• Keto or Gluten Free Cheese Wraps
• Gluten-Free or Keto Bread (for a sandwich!)
• On seed crackers as a fun appetizer or snack!
