Ingredients 

  • 2 cups mixed green salad, or any combination of red leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, spinach, etc..
  • 1 hard boiled egg
  • 4 cherry tomatoes, approximately 2-4 ounces
  • ½ avocado
  • cup cooked chicken breast, approximately 2 ounces
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled, approximately 1 ounce
  • ¼ cup cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  • Place the mixed greens into a large salad bowl or plate.
    2 cups mixed green salad
  • Slice the hardboiled egg, and dice the cherry tomatoes and avocado. Transfer to the bed of mixed greens.
    1 hard boiled egg, 4 cherry tomatoes, ½ avocado
  • Add the shredded chicken breast, feta cheese, and crumbled bacon.
    ⅓ cup cooked chicken breast, ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled, ¼ cup cooked bacon, crumbled

Notes

This recipe is for 1 serving of keto salad. Each serving has 6 net carbs (without dressing).
Serving suggestions: Dress the salad with Keto Ranch Dressing, red wine vinaigrette, or another low-carb salad dressing.
Variations: For a more traditional Cobb salad, you can substitute the feta cheese for blue cheese and use a blue cheese dressing. To make the salad non-keto, decrease fat by reducing or omitting the bacon or avocado. You can increase the protein by doubling the amount of chicken breast.
Storage:  Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. However, this salad is best enjoyed right away. When stored, dressing will make the lettuce a bit mushy over time and the avocado will oxidize. 
Meal prep: To prep in advance, chop the cooked bacon, shred the chicken, and hard boil an egg and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
