KETO BROCCOLI BACON SALAD: FRESH & FLAVORFUL
INGREDIENTS
5 ½ cups fresh broccoli 2-3 crowns, chopped into bite-size pieces
8 slices of bacon
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese cut in small cubes (smaller than the cubes you can buy pre-cut)
¼ small red onion, chopped finely
¼ cup chopped pecans
1 cup mayo
¼ cup Besti Monkfruit with allulose powdered (or Swerve Powdered and Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered would also work)
2 TB fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
⅛ tsp garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350° and toast pecans on a small baking sheet over parchment paper for 5-7 minutes. This will bring out the incredible flavor in the pecans.
Chop the bacon into small pieces, then fry in a skillet. Drain on paper towels.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add your broccoli for no longer than 45 seconds, then place in ice water. Drain, then dry broccoli thoroughly.
Stir mayo, sweetener, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. If you prefer, you can make homemade keto mayo.
Add the broccoli, onion, and cheese to the bowl of dressing mixture, then toss to combine.
Chill a minimum of 3 hours overnight so that the dressings can marinate the salad. ( It is tastes best if you can marinate overnight.)
Before serving, stir in half the crumbled bacon, then add the rest of the bacon and the chopped pecans on top for garnish.
