Not all egg salad recipes are created equal, and not all egg salads recipes settle timeless philosophical debates. This egg salad recipe, while unequally delicious, does not necessarily solve the philosophical question of which came first? The chicken or the egg, but resolves it by including both chicken and eggs!

We sandwiched our salad between crunchy romaine lettuce leaves and crispy micro greens, making it keto-friendly and gluten-free. However, you can’t go wrong sandwiching it with whatever vessel you like, be it gluten-free or full or keto-friendly or not-so friendly. We also tried it by itself and with pita bread and it didn’t disappoint! Check out the video below.

When it comes to chicken and egg salads this one comes first!
