Keto Breakfast Salad is an excellent way to start the day with energy and few carbs. This salad balances flavors and textures with greens, avocado, boiled eggs, and crunchy bacon rather than grabbing for something heavier. Eggs and bacon provide protein that keeps you full, while avocado contributes healthful fats that fuel your body on a ketogenic diet. Simple lemon dressing and olive oil that unifies everything will enhance the flavor of every bite. Customize this Keto Breakfast Salad, and it is more adaptable than typical breakfasts. You can add cheese, almonds, or smoked salmon, depending on your preferences.
