Easy Keto Dill Pickle Egg Salad
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.
