This BLT inspired potato salad has all the goodies you crave including hearty potatoes, savory crispy bacon, cherry tomatoes, green onions and a tangy dressing. Serve over salad greens to make it true to a BLT. Whole30 and paleo friendly.
This time of year I get loads of requests for BBQ type salads, like potato and pasta salads.
And yes – potatoes are okay for paleo! In the case that you stay away from white potatoes, feel free to sub in sweet potatoes or even steamed cauliflower.
Of course bacon goes perfectly with any potato salad, so I thought a BLT inspired salad would be perfect for something simple and totally delicious.
Let’s get into all the recipe details 🙂
What You Need to Make This Salad
The obvious ingredients course are bacon and tomato with romaine lettuce to serve with.
The dressing is simple too, making this salad easy to throw together. Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare the potato salad:
- red potatoes
- nitrate free bacon
- paleo mayo (homemade or store bought)
- dijon mustard
- dill pickle relish
- garlic
- fresh lemon juice
- sea salt
- black pepper
- cherry tomatoes
- scallions
- Romaine lettuce, to serve with
How to Make this BLT Whole30 Potato Salad Recipe
Place the potato pieces in a large pot and sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons of salt. Cover with cool water and place on the stovetop over high heat to bring to a boil.
Once boiling, lover the heat to medium and continue to simmer until the potatoes are just fork tender – about 15 minutes. Once done, drain in a colander and set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon strips down in a single layer, and bake them for 15-18 minutes.
I usually check the bacon after 15 minutes for doneness and continue to bake until crisp if it needs more time.
Drain the bacon on paper towels and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, relish, garlic and lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl and add the tomatoes and scallions, and crumble in 6 slices of bacon, leaving two for garnish.
Season with salt and pepper, then toss with the dressing.
How to Serve and Store this Salad
To serve, arrange the romaine lettuce on a large serving platter, then top with the potato salad and garnish with the last two bacon slices, either crumbled or leave them in strips.
It’s best served room temperature or slightly chilled. You can prep the dressing ahead of time and toss it together right before you serve it as well.
The salad will keep well in a tightly lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I hope you love it as much as I did!

Elon Musk, Free Speech and Twitter Deal – Why This Raises More Questions than Offers Answers
After buying 9.2 per cent stake in micro-blogging site Twitter in early April, the world’s richest man Elon Musk is now about to buy the entire stake in the company for a whopping $44 billion. Soon, Twitter is likely to be owned by Elon Musk, or is it? A deal that was all but done, before Musk “temporarily put it on hold”, to ascertain the veracity of a number of “fake” or “spam” accounts on the social media platform. But is this an avenue being explored to get out of the mega deal preceded by acrimonious attempts to ‘save’ the company by existing investors?
Red potatoes aren’t pal.
Made this for a friend and I and we both thought it was delishhhh. Michelle’s recipes have never let me down once.
I was making this recipe with friends and we had a conflict about adding some ingredients. The goal of a compromise is to have both parties get what they want while still maintaining a good relationship. It requires that one party give up a portion of their goals in exchange for the others. Sometimes this means meeting somewhere in the middle of flipping a coin. The key to success with compromise is to be flexible and respectful of the other’s point of view. While it can be frustrating, it is a valuable strategy in student-teacher conflict resolution. First, students must accept responsibility for their actions. This might be difficult because they didn’t have equal responsibility. However, they should think of ways they could have handled the situation differently. For example, if Juan wanted to play with Kori instead of Juan, he could have explained why and find a way to be able to play with both students at once. Then, he could have explained his reasons and come up with a way to be friendly with both of them.
Delicious! Made this with mini red potatoes and doubled the number of cherry tomatoes. Absolutely fabulous! The dressing is a perfect blend of tangy flavors. I can always count on success with your recipes.
This was made for a buddy and I, and we both thought it was delicious. Michelle’s recipes have never disappointed me.
