Serving suggestions
Please serve this salad with a great high protein main dish like this one:
Ingredients
- 2 cup spring mix
- 6 tbsp, chopped red onion
- 4 large – stalk – 11" to 12" long celery
- 4 oz frozen peas
- 4 ½ oz mayo
- ½ tablespoon monk fruit erythritol blend
- 4 oz cheddar cheese
- 2 ½ oz bacon
Instructions
- Using a clear bowl (if possible), add the lettuce to the bottom.
- Next, add the diced red onions.
- Then add the sliced celery stalks. If the stalks are relatively wide, slice them in half lengthwise before cutting them so the pieces are smaller.
- Then add peas evenly on top. You can allow the peas to thaw at room temperature before using; if not, quickly microwave them in increments of 30 seconds until cold but not frozen.
- Then add the mayo. You can use store-bought mayo, but feel free to use homemade mayo using a Keto-friendly oil. Top the mayo with sweetener evenly.
- Then add on the sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Wrap and chill until ready to serve.
