A creamy and low-carb twist on classic potato salad, made with fresh zucchini noodles, eggs, and a tangy dressing. Perfect for keto diets, BBQs, and summer sides.
4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
½ cup mayonnaise (avocado mayo works well)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar)
2 dill pickles, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
¼ small red onion, diced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Boil water in a pot. Blanch the zoodles for 1 minute, then drain and rinse with cold water. Chill in the fridge.
In a large bowl, whisk together mayo, mustard, vinegar, pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add celery, onion, pickles, and eggs into the bowl. Stir gently.
Fold in the chilled zoodles and coat evenly with dressing.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with parsley or chives.
Don’t skip salting and drying the zoodles—this keeps the salad from turning watery.
You can swap Dijon mustard for yellow mustard if you prefer.
For extra flavor, add crumbled bacon or shredded cheddar cheese.
