Looking for a light, nutritious, and delicious appetizer or lunch option? These Avocado, Hard-Boiled Egg, and Bacon Lettuce Cups are the perfect choice. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and a satisfying crunch, they’re both refreshing and filling – ideal for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 100 g smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6-8 large lettuce leaves (like butter lettuce or romaine)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove, drain excess fat, and crumble into small pieces.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocados, chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and red onion (if using). Add the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine without mashing the avocados too much.
- Assemble the Cups: Place a generous scoop of the avocado mixture into each lettuce leaf, forming small cups.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
Tips for the Best Lettuce Cups:
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or hot sauce.
- Use iceberg lettuce for a crisper bite or butter lettuce for a softer, more flexible wrap.
- Store any leftover filling in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
