Egg salad with bacon is a paleo-friendly egg salad recipe. Enjoy this paleo egg salad as a lettuce wrap or eat as is. This is a delicious, quick, and easy paleo-friendly lunch recipe.
I love a good egg salad recipe and am always looking for ways to make traditional egg salad a bit healthier and more flavorful. Any breakfast lover will tell you that no flavors go better together than eggs and bacon! Crumbled bacon in egg salad is just heavenly. I like to save a little extra bacon to garnish on top, along with a sprinkling of paprika. Great for a quick and healthy lunch and it's Paleo-diet friendly!
Paleo Egg Salad Ingredients
- Eggs- hardboiled and peeled
- Mayo- Paleo recipe for Olive Oil mayonnaise recommended, but a store-bought olive oil or avocado mayo will work great for a quick and easy option
- Uncured bacon- cooked and crumbled
- Sweet Vidalia onion- finely diced
- Celery-finely diced
- Cayenne pepper- I use a dash, more or less to taste
- Dill pickle-finely diced
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper- to taste
- Paprika- for garnish
Recipe Instructions
In a large bowl, combine mayo, onion, celery, cayenne pepper, pickle, and salt and pepper. Stir until ingredients are well mixed. Chop your eggs and add to the mixture, then stir in most of the bacon (reserve a couple of chopped slices for garnish). Top with paprika and serve over a bed of greens or in a lettuce boat.

just made this and it's amazing. i made bacon fat mayo with all the bacon drippings and it's insane. only thing i didn't have were pickles so i added in some vinegar instead for that tangy kick.
