Print Recipe

This easy Keto Brussels Sprouts Salad is the perfect low-carb side dish if you’re tired of missing potato salad on your keto diet. It’s packed with crispy bacon, creamy dressing, and thin-sliced raw sprouts that stay crunchy and full of flavor. It tastes like the rich comfort of potato salad but with a fresh, lighter feel that keeps your carbs in check.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad:

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and chopped

  • 1/2 cup shredded or shaved Parmesan

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds or chopped walnuts (optional)

  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim and shred Brussels sprouts using a sharp knife or food processor.

  2. Cook bacon until crispy. Drain and chop into pieces.

  3. Toast almonds or walnuts in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes, if using.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

  5. Combine Brussels sprouts, bacon, cheese, onion, nuts, and parsley in a large bowl.

  6. Pour dressing over the top and toss well to coat everything evenly.

  7. Serve right away or let it chill in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, stir in a little sour cream or Greek yogurt to the dressing.

  • Add chopped hard-boiled eggs if you miss the classic feel of potato salad.

  • Keeps in the fridge for 2–3 days. Add a handful of fresh sprouts before serving if needed.

  • Works great with shredded chicken or tuna to turn it into a full meal.
