Who needs bread?? This Keto Chicken BLT Salad has all the good stuff…without all the carbs!
Keto BLT Salad
Not gonna lie, I’m not really a salad person.
I mean, if I go out to a restaurant, I’m not ordering a salad for dinner when there’s so much other good stuff on the menu!
But every now and then you find a salad that actually gets you excited about salads – and this, my friends, is one of those salads.
When we were dating, my husband used to make the most killer BLT sandwiches. It was one my my favorite things he cooked (and he is the chef in the family and cooks a lot…so that’s saying something!)
However, on keto bread is out of course – but my husband made this keto BLT salad that tastes so amazing I don’t even miss the bread!
Maybe it’s the sliced egg on top.
Or maybe it’s the unbelievably flavorful mustard vinaigrette.
Whatever it is, this recipe is a keeper!!

Prep Tips:
- To save time, feel free to use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. You can also try our Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe for unbelievably tender and juicy chicken ready in 20 minutes!
- Some brands of bacon are cured in sugar, so be sure to check the ingredients. If you have trouble finding bacon without sugar, consider that there is likely less than 1 gram per serving (again, check the ingredients to be sure).
- We steam our hard-boiled eggs, so they peel easier – click here to learn how to steam hard boiled eggs.
