Light Bacon Egg Salad Lettuce Cups are an easy and healthy low-carb lunch idea made with Greek yogurt and topped with crispy bacon for amazing flavor in just 15 minutes!

Now that I have discovered hot to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs in my Instant Pot, I am all about egg salad! It is an easy way to make a protein packed lunch that is light on calories when you substitute non-fat Greek yogurt for the bulk of the mayo. Some people take it a bit too far in my opinion and just leave out all of the mayo trying to be ultra healthy. I think the lightened up egg salad recipes still needs that little bit of zing, so I include a few tablespoons. I personally like to use this Smart Balance Mayo as a healthier option. It add to the flavor of these Light Bacon Egg Salad Lettuce Cups with a slightly tangy egg salad with crunchy green onions and topped with crispy bacon served on butter leaf lettuce for a light and healthy lunch idea!

This egg salad would also be great on some whole grain bread, but I was looking to make my meal as low-carb as possible. If you are craving the carbs…as I often am, grab some whole wheat bread and you will have a wholesome and delicious lunch that you will love! For a lower fat option, you could certainly use Turkey Bacon as a substitute for the regular pork bacon.

If you still have some hard-boiled eggs leftover from Easter, these Light Bacon Egg Salad Lettuce Cups would be the perfect recipe to use them up for a light meal!
