Here’s a keto-friendly version of the Seven-Layer Salad with revised ingredients and instructions to fit a low-carb diet. I’ll also include nutrition information to help you stay on track:

Keto Seven-Layer Salad 🥒🍅🥚🥓🥗

Ingredients:

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for a lower carb count, reduce or omit)
  • 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional, for a lower carb count, reduce or omit)
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices turkey bacon (or chicken bacon), cooked and crumbled
  • Dressing:
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (use a low-carb brand)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a large clear bowl, layer the salad ingredients starting with iceberg lettuce at the bottom. Next, add cherry tomatoes (if using), cucumbers, optional peas (if using), hard-boiled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and top with crumbled bacon.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, erythritol (or other sweetener), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Spread the dressing evenly over the top layer of bacon, ensuring to cover the edges to seal the salad.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve chilled, scooping down deep to get a bit of each layer.
