Keto BLAT

BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato) is usually a type of sandwich. Of course, on keto, sandwiches are off-limits because bread is high in carbs. Just one slice of bread would derail your diet and kick you out of ketosis.

In this recipe, you’ll be making a BLAT salad instead of a sandwich. That way, you can enjoy all the flavors of BLAT but none of the carbs.

Quick and easy to make, this isn’t some boring, tasteless salad. In fact, after your first mouthful, you’ll probably forget that you are eating something designed to help you lose weight.

Bottom Line

Most diets involve eating salads. After all, salad greens are invariably low in carbs and calories. But even though eating salads can help you lose weight, they are often boring.

This recipe for keto BLAT is much tastier than the average salad, and this recipe takes just minutes to put together. You can also add extra protein by serving it with chicken or hardboiled eggs.

Top with creamy keto Caesar salad dressing instead of aioli to make it even tastier.

So, while BLAT sandwiches are off the menu on keto, you can still enjoy bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomatoes. But it’ll have to be in the form of a salad, and not between slices of fattening bread.
