If you love dill pickles, this easy, keto egg salad will be your new favorite recipe!
ARE PICKLES KETO FRIENDLY?
Yes, pickles are absolutely wonderful on a keto diet, as long as the ones you choose are kosher dill and not sweet pickles. All sweet pickles are pickled cucumbers made with a brine that contains sugar. When you are on a keto diet, you will want to avoid any pickles that contain sugar as they will be higher in carbs than dill pickles and may kick you out of ketosis. Be sure to read the ingredients of any pickle jar you find at the market. If you see any sugar listed, avoid it and look for kosher dill pickles which come in spears, slices or whole and heavily seasoned with dill. Pickles have a good amount of sodium and if you deal with leg cramps, pickles and sipping pickle juice can really help alleviate that issue. About 1 medium dill pickle is 1 total carb and all you need for this amazing dill pickle egg salad recipe.
EGGS ARE A PERFECT PROTEIN SOURCE
Whole eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can consume. Eggs are an excellent source of quality protein, vitamins and minerals! They are rich in selenium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, Vitamin D as well as zinc, copper and iron. The cholesterol hypothesis of heart disease is dead. Dietary cholesterol does not in fact raise blood cholesterol in most people. Here's a youtube video from Dr. David Diamond if you'd like to learn how cholesterol is needed in the body and how it does not cause heart disease.

INSTANT POT EASY PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS
The way to cooking perfect easy peel hard boiled eggs, where the shells come off easily without destroying the white while peeling, and with a delicious, silky yolk, has been debated for years. If you've tried boiling and steaming and still have terrible issues with the peeling, I can so relate! We have chickens so farm fresh is what we use, but that doesn't mean they've been easier to peel then store bought. I've even tried using older eggs as opposed to fresher ones, but no attempts have been successful until now! The Instant pot is the key to perfect hard boiled eggs that peel easily without fear of losing the delicious custardy whites when peeling the shell!
