I’ll admit it’s looks kind of gross out of the gates (especially when it hasn’t been served from yet – looks like a giant bowl of mayo, especially if you don’t use a glass bowl lol) But it’s super tasty!

It consists of (from the bottom up):

Lettuce (chopped iceberg is best)

Spinach

Thin layer of peas (optional for stricter keto)

Layer of sliced hard boiled eggs

Green onions

Bacon bits

Then a 1-2” layer of full-fat mayonnaise on top

You can adjust the quantities and thickness of each layer to your own tastes/preferences.

The key with this is it needs to be well-refrigerated for a few hours after prepping. DO NOT let it sit out. Pull from fridge and serve immediately.

Honestly one of my all-time favourite salads, keto or not!

    2” of mayonnaise? TWO INCHES OF MAYONNAISE!?

    I love mayo but that looks disgusting sorry

    A layered mayonnaise salad sounds like a hex. Those words should not be strung together 😭

  4. As an old person, this was popular in the 70’s. My mom used to make this.

    Since I started keto I found my tolerance for store bought mayo significantly reduced, and since I removed seed oils I can no longer eat it with my stomach twisting in knots of pain…

    I have never liked mayo. But maybe with lite ranch dressing?

    Honestly this isn’t far off from Slavic salads. Just without potato.

    I do think the mayo should be mixed anyway at first more in that style.

    Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white

    Hard pass… the sheer amount of mayo is crazy.

    This would go over _much_ better if it were mixed, like every other salad with mayo (tuna, potato, Cole slaw etc)

    I always thought that would be a good keto salad (with less mayo) thanks for the reminder…

  12. This is like when all the mayo & greens squished out of your big beef sub sandwich (I know the bread isn’t keto), but ick. There are much better ways to go. I’d rather eat the sourdough sub roll than this. Sorry, friend.
