Bake the salmon.

  1. Heat the empty oven & cover the baking sheet using the parchment.

NOTES:

EGGS BOILING:

Put a water-filled pot on the stove over the normal-high flame.
Place the eggs in water & cover them once the water boils.
Turn off the flame & let the eggs cook hard in that water for 15/17 minutes.
After that, drain the eggs & shift them into the chilled water-filled pot.
Then, peel & slice the eggs into wedges.

BAKING BACON:

Preheat 400 degrees Fahrenheit in the empty oven.
Line the sheet (baking) with parchment paper.
On that sheet, arrange the bacon strips.
Shift them to the oven (heated) to get tender for around 15/20 minutes.
You can use the separate baking sheet to bake them along with the salmon to save time.

TIPS:

You can check the tenderness of fish in two ways:
Insert the thermometer (meat) into the center; if it shows 62 F, that means your fish is tender.
Use the fork to shred the fish; if this happens easily, that means your fish is tenderized.

If you keep the salad in the fridge to rest for 0.5 hours, the combination of the developed flavors will amaze you.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

Always prefer the fresh salad.

MAKE AHEAD:

Place the seasoned bacon & salmon in the locked container in the fridge. Mix the dressing & pack it in a resealable jar to keep it in the fridge also. Wash & dry the veggies earlier.
If you have done all the above work the night before, it will be a lot easier for you at the time of serving. You only need to chop the veggies, boil the eggs, & mix everything to have the quick salad.

FRIDGE:

You may keep the remaining salad in the fridge as well. We don’t recommend this. As veggies release water, your salad will not look good after some time.

FAQs:

Is it possible to freeze the salad?
You can’t freeze the whole prepared salad. This would not be appropriate, as salads should always be eaten fresh. You can freeze the seasoned salmon & bacon for 90/100 days.

Is the salad healthy enough? how?
The salad has all the beneficial nutrients in it. It has a lot of proteins, fiber, antioxidants, & good fats, along with the lowest possible carbs. The best salad for the energy boost.

Is this salad suitable only for the keto diet?
Swap the sour cream with Greek yogurt & omit the cheese. Then this keto salad will also be suitable for the whole 30 & paleo diet.
