Prep Your Ingredients
The first step to a great salad is prepping everything in advance. Chop, dice, and cook as needed to make assembly a breeze.
- Cook the chicken: Season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite keto-friendly spices, then grill or bake them until fully cooked. Let them cool before slicing.
- Fry the bacon: Cook bacon strips in a skillet until crispy, then set them on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 9–12 minutes. Cool them in ice water before peeling and slicing.
- Chop the veggies: Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and crumble the cheese.
