Ready for a new take on Egg Salad? Here is how to take your Egg Salad up several notches! This BLT Egg Salad will be packed with added flavor and heartiness from the bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and green onion! This BLT Egg Salad is perfect as a quick snack or lunch and can be put together quickly!
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Every weekend, I prep at least half a dozen hard-boiled eggs to grab as a quick snack, add to salad, or make this delicious recipe. We go through eggs like crazy in our home. They are a beautiful source of protein, have essential nutrients, and most importantly are easy to get my entire family to eat!
Since we consume so many eggs each week, so I always look for the best quality within our budget. Grass-fed, free-range/pastured chickens, in my opinion, lay the happiest eggs. So if you are one of the lucky humans out there who have their own chickens and are able to collect eggs from them, yay for you!
Hard-Boiled Egg Tips
- Place in a pot before bringing the water to a boil and fill with enough water to cover the eggs.
- Add a generous dash of salt and about 1/8 cup of white vinegar. The vinegar helps remove the shell much easier after the eggs have cooled!
- To get a creamy, slightly firm yolk (especially for this recipe), boil the eggs for no more than 8 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath for your eggs to cool off in!
Crispy Bacon: The Best Add-in Ever
Who doesn’t love crispy bacon? While prepping lunches on Sunday, we had some leftover bacon hanging out in the fridge from breakfast. While putting together our original Egg Salad recipe I had some extra bacon from breakfast left over and decided to throw it into the egg salad. Our Egg Salad recipe changed forever!
When I added bacon to this Egg Salad my husband couldn’t get enough. We both love having this BLT Egg Salad prepped and ready to go for a quick lunch during the week!
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
The sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet and zesty flair to this BLT Egg Salad. Using regular chopped tomatoes originally made this recipe more watered down than I would like. Sun-dried tomatoes were the perfect option adding great flavor and texture to the recipe!
Quick, Easy Prep & Ingredients
- 6 Hard-boiled Eggs, peel and roughly chop
- Chopped, crispy bacon
- Chopped Sun-dried tomatoes
- Chopped, Green onion
- Primal Kitchen Mayo
- Mustard: Yellow, Dijon, Grainy (You choose, they all work well)
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Spices: Garlic granules, Salt & Pepper
In a medium bowl, combine all of the prepped ingredients and mix together until combined. Adjust the mayo, mustard, ACV, and spices to fit your taste. Feel free to eat it immediately, but I would recommend allowing it to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before devouring it!
I love how easy and delicious this recipe is. We enjoy eating this BLT Egg Salad on Dave’s Killer Seed Bread, on crackers (my favorite are Mary’s Gone Crackers), and with sliced vegetables.
We hope that you love this recipe! Please leave us a comment below letting us know about your experience!
