How long does egg salad keep?
This egg salad will keep well in the fridge for around 4 days. Keep in in an airtight container and don’t leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Can you freeze instant pot egg salad?
It’s best not to freeze this egg salad as it contains mayonnaise. When frozen, it becomes rubbery and watery. It will still be safe to eat once thawed, but the texture will change considerably.
How to serve
I like to serve this Instant Pot egg salad between two slices of wholegrain bread with some fresh lettuce. It will also work great in tortilla wraps or even topped on a bowl of fresh salad.
To keep this recipe low carb and keto friendly, serve in in lettuce wraps. Makes a great healthy lunch any day of the week.
Do you need an Instant Pot to make this recipe?
No! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can still make this egg salad. Simply hard boil the eggs on the stovetop, peel them and then chop into pieces and follow the rest of the recipe. We have a great recipe for Egg Salad Sandwiches !
Tips!
- Use the freshest eggs you can, and if possible use free run / organic.
- Test the freshness of your eggs in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom and old eggs will float to the top.
- Allow the eggs to cool completely before chopping them into pieces.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
