Keto Loaded Egg Salad

Keto Loaded Egg Salad

I love keeping this Loaded Egg Salad on hand for easy lunches during the week! It’s delicious tucked into lettuce cups or between keto sandwich bread!

We’ve jazzed up regular plain egg salad with bacon, tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese for a delicious BLT style salad that’s as filling as it is tasty. For super easy to peel eggs I suggest using your Instant Pot if you have one. Simply do the following:

• Place 1 cup of water in the inner pot
• Place the steam rack in and carefully set as many eggs as desired on the rack
• Place lid on pressure cooker and set for 5 minutes on high pressure
• After the cook time has finished, let pressure release for 5 minutes naturally before peeling
