This BLT keto egg salad is such a fun twist for egg salad! We combine hard-boiled eggs, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes and toss them in a creamy delicious dressing to make this awesome salad. Not only is this salad incredibly tasty, but it also has super texture, and it’s low carb and keto.

Let’s talk about eggs!

Eggs are an awesome keto food choice. They are low in calories and carbs. But eggs are also rich in nutrients. Eggs provide us with a source of calcium, choline, folate, lutein, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, and  with vitamins A, B, D, E, and K. One of the wonderful things about eggs is the variety of ways you can incorporate them into your day. Eggs can be baked, fried, boiled, poached, or scrambled. When frying, you can choose your desired level of doneness. When boiling, you can make soft-boiled, medium-boiled, or hard-boiled eggs. Eggs can also be added to main dish casseroles, egg casseroles, frittatas, omelets, quiches, and scrambles. For this dish, I boil my eggs on the stove because of the number of eggs I’m making. When I want just a few hard-boiled eggs, I use one of my all-time favorite kitchen appliances, my Dash rapid egg cooker!

What kind of bacon, lettuce, and tomato should I use for this egg salad?

BLTs are an iconic sandwich, and they are true comfort food. Adding bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes brings this comfort food element to our egg salad. They also add amazing flavor and texture to our dish. I used regular bacon for my egg salad, but you could use thick sliced bacon if you’d prefer. I love the crunch of iceberg lettuce and that is what I used for my salad. Romaine would be another good option. You can either shred or chop your lettuce for this salad. For tomatoes, I quartered 10 cherry tomatoes for this egg salad. Depending on the size of your tomatoes, you can choose to halve or quarter yours. If you’d like to use other kinds of tomatoes, you definitely can; but the texture of your dish will change depending on the size you cut your tomatoes pieces into.  

How can I serve this BLT keto egg salad?

You have some awesome keto options for serving this egg salad. It is amazing all on its own, simply served in a bowl with a spoon! You can serve this as an appetizer, and can use raw vegetables, keto crackers, cheese whisps, or pork rinds as dippers. If you’d like to serve this as a sandwich, you could use your favorite keto bread, biscuits, or English muffins for your sandwich. It also makes a great filling for lettuce wraps. You can top some lettuce or spinach with this salad to make a nice light lunch option. If you’d like, you can serve this egg salad with a keto soup to make a nice soup and salad meal.
