Keto Smoked Salmon and Bacon Salad
This delicious Keto salad recipe is packed with protein, fats and flavor. Our low carb salad is prepared with a base of crispy chopped iceberg lettuce, sweet tomato, cooling cucumber and creamy avocado. The vegetable base is then layered with crispy bacon pieces and tender smoked salmon. The salad is finally topped with a zesty lemon mayonnaise dressing to serve. Perfect for a low carb lunch or light dinner option.
Can I Make This Without Pork?
We have added crispy cooked bacon to our salad for protein, fats and flavor. If you are avoiding pork in your diet, you can omit this and replace with extra smoked salmon if preferred. Alternatively, you could also swap the bacon for a handful of cooked juicy jumbo shrimp. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
What Kind of Mayonnaise Should I Use?
We have added a tablespoon of mayonnaise to our salad dressing for added fats and to provide a creamy consistency. You may use a store-bought Keto-compliant mayonnaise for this recipe, free from added sugars. Alternatively, you can use your own homemade fresh mayonnaise. If you would like to prepare your own mayonnaise, you will find a recipe for this in our sides section.
