I came up with this carnivore salmon omelet Salad recipe when I was looking for a way to make my breakfast more interesting without breaking the carnivore diet rules.
The combination of smoked salmon and eggs has always been a classic, but I wanted to turn it into something that could work for any meal of the day, not just breakfast.
By adding cream cheese and turning it into a salad style dish, it became the perfect option for lunch, dinner, or even a protein rich snack.
What makes this recipe special is how the different textures work together – you get the smooth, creamy cheese, the tender pieces of omelet, and the rich, smoky salmon in every bite.
The best part is that it only needs three ingredients, which makes shopping and preparation incredibly simple. You don’t have to worry about hunting down special ingredients or spending hours in the kitchen.

💡Tips
1. Don’t Overmix
When combining everything, fold the ingredients together gently instead of stirring aggressively. You want the salmon and omelet pieces to stay intact and visible in the cream cheese, not get mashed up.
Mix just until everything is evenly distributed – if you mix too much, the salmon can break apart and turn the whole salad pink, and the omelet pieces can become too small.
2. Cover It
When putting the salad in the fridge to chill, make sure the plastic wrap is touching the surface of the salad, not just covering the bowl.
This prevents a film from forming on top and keeps the cream cheese from drying out. Press the wrap gently against the surface, making sure there are no air bubbles.

FAQ
How long does this stay good in the fridge?
This salad stays fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days when stored properly in an airtight container.
The key is making sure it’s well covered – use plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the salad, then put on the container lid.
Can I use different types of cheese?
Yes, but cream cheese works best because of its smooth, creamy texture. If you want to try something else, mascarpone cheese is the closest alternative and works well.
