I usually make Ketogenic Bacon and Egg Salad mostly during the weekend, when I want to relax and enjoy my meal. This easy-to-prepare salad satisfies my picky taste buds and it is also keto-friendly at the same time.
For those of you who have no idea what keto is, let me quickly give you a high level definition. Keto refers to the Ketogenic Diet. It is a type of diet that promotes weight loss by consuming more fat and less carbs (the lower the carbohydrate intake, the better). You can read more about it here.
This salad might be attributed as a supplement to the diet, but anyone should be able to prepare and enjoy it the same way I did. It makes a good brunch, as far as I am concerned. It makes me feel and stay full longer. This can also be made into a sandwich. People who are not into the diet can make Bacon and Egg Salad Sandwich. You can even add lettuce and tomato for best results.
Note that you can play around with the ingredients below by adding more eggs and/or bacon if preferred. You can add chopped celery too to give your salad a bit of a crunch. Feel free to adjust the dressing based on the amount of ingredients used.
Have fun assembling your salad! Enjoy!

Vanjo Merano says
Dijon Mustard has no direct substitute when it comes to taste. Regular yellow mustard can be used, but it will alter the flavor of the dressing.
You can use Eden cheese too.
