Keto Egg Salad
The classic egg salad is already a keto-friendly option. However, in our quest for added creaminess and healthiness, we couldn't resist incorporating avocado into the mix. The result? A wonderfully fresh and satisfying salad that will keep you satiated, even when served in a lettuce cup. And let's not forget the crispy bacon—it's a must-have addition!Thankfully, mayonnaise is keto-friendly, allowing us to keep it as the salad's base. As long as your mayonnaise doesn't contain added sugar (which most don't), you can happily enjoy it on a keto diet. Additionally, bacon, eggs, and avocado are all excellent choices for keto, making this egg salad a perfect fit. Whether you prefer to serve it in lettuce cups or enjoy it on its own, it makes for a delightful lunch or side dish. We even dare to suggest that it would pair well with some nacho cheese crisps—why not indulge a bit?
