Troy's Keto Salad

G4S Troy

This is loosely based off a salad recipe in Keto Connect’s “Keto Made Easy” book. I played around with it and come up with something that Sonia and I really enjoyed! I also use hot sauce for the eggs and lettuce. Feel free to use any salad dressing you like, just stay away from canola, soybean, and other inflammatory oils! I recommend primal kitchen dressings as they use avocado oil as the base.
