Any tips for 0 carb egg salad?  The one I just made is flat and one dimensional.   I'm guessing sugar is what makes it better.   I did add a kosher pickle,  even though that has carbs.
Thanks

Salt, pepper, smoked paprika? Did you use any mayo?

Salt, pepper,  mayo, Seminole swamp seasoning,  green onions,  and the pickle.

Agreed.
I love a good double entendre.

for a different flavor try some Spanish olives diced up in it, as well as flavors above.  The olives are not zero carb but low in carbs.

Mix together:

Several-Chopped hard boiled eggs.

Big spoonful-Mayo (helmans or dukes).

Squirt of-Yellow or brown mustard.

Big spoonful-Sweet rellish.

Little or a lot to taste-Diced onion.

Little-Diced red bell pepper.

Pinch-Salt & black pepper to taste.

Sprinkle-smoked sweet paprika to taste.

Need a kick sprinkle-Cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Have it with saltine, club or ritz crackers or,

I don't think I would ever say that no one in the U.S. ever puts sugar into a recipe for anything. Americans have such a huge sweet tooth that they want to always satisfy that even foods you might not expect to have sugar in it someone is going to put in sugar to satisfy their sweet tooth.

A lot of store bought tato salad or macaroni salad contains extra sugar.  Its because it makes it more widely palatable to more people who are often so saturated with sugar that if it isn't sweet there seems like there is something wrong with it.  Sugar also helps keep it palatable longer, which isn't necessary if its home made and not expected to last more than a day or two before being eaten.

Home made probably should have little to no sugar; it covers the other flavors.

Ugh, NFW ever.

I put some sugar in coleslaw.   I basically match the style of old KFC tastes.

Id guess you need to make it similar to deviled eggs.

1 shake each,
onion salt
garlic salt
Laureys
dry mustard
2 shakes pepper
add Helmans until creamy
Sprinkle with Paprika if you want

I top mine with a jalapeno slice and a dash of cayenne instead of paprika.  I've never heard of sugar being an ingredient.
5/19/2026 11:03:58 PM EDT

Either mustard or a splash of vinegar.

I like making  "Deviled egg" salad.  It gives it some zing instead of a lot of the band styles. Of course it has to be the zingy type with a bit of a bite to it.

One that ive found is that if you replace 1/3 of the hard boiled eggs with pickled eggs, it can surprisingly popular.  More than that though and the vinegar flavor can be overwhelming.

Use some sour cream in place of some of the mayo.

I substitute dijon or horseradish mustard for yellow mustard in egg salad and deviled eggs.

Lol that's another story.  County regs have us about 10' too short to the neighbors property line. Working on a work around.  The wife really wants chickens.
