Keto Chopped Salad With Quick Creamy Dressing
Keto chopped salad recipe adapted from Torie Borrelli, author of “The Mexican Keto Cookbook” and founder of The Vida Well
With pasture-raised eggs, avocado and wild-caught smoked salmon, this Keto Chopped Salad recipe by Torie Borrelli is equal parts delicious and satisfying. There’s plenty of room to make this your own: use your favorite greens as the base, use a different protein instead of salmon or add diced bacon to take this salad to the next level. If you’re prepping ahead of time, keep the dressing in a separate container, and combine right before devouring.

Note on ingredients: Organic, grass-fed cow cheese and raw goat cheese are suspect foods on the Bulletproof Diet, which means they can trigger sensitivities in some people. Seeds and nuts (except coconuts) are suspect on the Bulletproof Diet because of their high levels of omega-6 fats, susceptibility to mold and lectins. If these ingredients doesn’t agree with you, leave them out. The salad will still taste amazing.
