This Bacon Egg Salad Recipe with Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing is full of flavor and makes a perfect quick meal or packed lunch.
Growing up, the only thing worse than finding tunafish in my lunchbox was finding egg salad there.
And the real problem was that I (and everyone else) knew it was there even before I opened my lunch. (Such is the problem of potent-smelling sandwiches when you’re a kid!)
So believe me when I tell you that egg salad is a newly acquired taste for me.
But my version of egg salad is so different from what I grew up with, it’s hard to even call it the same thing.
For starters, let’s talk about texture. I know a lot of people who like their egg salad mashed into oblivion (my mom included). I prefer mine with some texture. For the most part, I just chop the hard-boiled eggs, and mash up literally just a couple of pieces of yolk.
Now, as far as flavor goes, I like my egg salad with a super flavorful dressing. (Because let’s face it, egg salad can sometimes be bland.)
Honey mustard and a few spices liven up my version, and so does the addition of bacon for smokiness.

Faith's Tips
- Net Carbs: 3g per serving
- If you don’t have honey mustard, you can use ¾ teaspoon yellow mustard and ¾ teaspoon honey instead.
- Instead of the Greek yogurt, you can use mayo if you prefer.
- To keep this a low carb meal, serve it on a bed of lettuce instead of as a sandwich.
