Healthy Salad Ingredients

This salad is loaded with ingredients that aren't just loaded with flavor but also vitamins and nutrients too. You can rest assured you're enjoying a healthy salad that is great tasting and great for you.

Keto BLT Salad Ingredients

For the BLT Salad

  • Romaine lettuce - every great salad starts with lettuce and romaine lettuce has the perfect crunch with a slightly savory flavor. It's low in calories and also an excellent source of vitamin K, folate and potassium.
  • Tomato - adds a sweet and tangy flavor while also being a great source of lycopene, which is an antioxidant that has been shown to help protect against cancer and heart disease. Tomatoes also contain the carotenoid beta-carotene, which is converted in the body to vitamin A.
  • Avocado - buttery and creamy, avocados are a nutrient dense food that provide more than double the amount of vitamin E per serving compared with other fruits and vegetables. They also have potassium, fiber and even protein.
  • Bacon - crispy bacon adds extra crunch along with the romaine lettuce. We've also put together a great guide to cooking bacon in a pan perfectly every time!
  • Gouda cheese - a smooth and mild cheese with a slightly nutty flavor that has been named "the most perfect cheese in the world" by The New York Times. It's slightly hard and great at absorbing flavors, perfect for our BLT salad.

For the Homemade Dressing

  • Mayonnaise and milk - make sure to use full-fat versions for the base of the homemade dressing.
  • Parsley - adds a light flavor with hints of anise and thyme. It's also a very healthy herb that contains vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron and calcium. It also has antioxidant properties, which may help to protect the body from cancer and heart disease.
  • Dill - a pungent, spicy and slightly sweet herb that also has a number of health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory properties, is used to treat digestive issues such as bloating and gas, helps digestion by stimulating the production of stomach acid, and has been used to treat menstrual cramps.
  • Seasonings - the additional seasonings we use in this recipe are simply garlic powder, salt and pepper. Feel free to add any of your own extra herbs and spice combinations as well!

How To Make A Keto BLT Salad

  • Prep the bacon. Heat the bacon in a pan for 3-4 minutes until perfectly crispy. Learn how to cook bacon in a pan so that it is perfectly crispy and crunchy.
  • Prep the salad. Grab a bowl and arrange the shredded lettuce in the bottom. Arrange the chopped tomato, avocado, cheese and bacon pieces on top.
  • Prep the dressing. Simply whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, dried dill, garlic powder with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Finish the salad. Generously drizzle the homemade dressing over the BLT salad and serve immediately.

Storage

Any leftover BLT salad can be stored in an air tight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Just add some extra dressing and seasonings to refresh the salad when you're ready to eat!
