These fresh and flavorful wraps are a healthier twist on the classic BLT. Creamy egg salad, crispy bacon, and juicy tomatoes come together in crisp lettuce leaves for a light yet satisfying meal.
Ingredients
-
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
-
¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for extra protein)
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
-
½ cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
-
Butter lettuce or romaine leaves, washed and dried
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the egg salad
-
Place the chopped hard-boiled eggs in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 2: Add the “BLT” magic
-
Fold in the crispy crumbled bacon and chopped cherry tomatoes.
-
Mix carefully to keep the salad light and chunky, rather than over-mixed.
Step 3: Prepare the lettuce wraps
-
Separate the butter lettuce or romaine leaves, keeping the large, sturdy leaves intact.
-
Pat dry to make sure there’s no excess moisture, which helps the wraps stay crisp.
Step 4: Assemble the wraps
-
Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
-
Fold the leaf around the filling like a taco or wrap.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
-
Arrange the lettuce wraps on a serving plate.
-
For extra flavor, top with additional bacon crumbles or a dash of hot sauce.
-
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunch of the lettuce and the freshness of the filling.
Tips & Variations
-
Swap bacon with turkey bacon or smoked salmon for a lighter twist.
-
Add diced avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
-
Sprinkle with fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for added freshness.
-
If you prefer a heartier wrap, layer the egg salad into a tortilla instead of lettuce.
