    Keto Bacon and Broccoli Salad in Ranch Dressing

     
    This is a simple recipe that really is pleasing.

    I like how the flavors all seem to blend together into something tasty!

     

    Did you try my Keto Low Carb Chicken and Bacon Casserole?

    That recipe would be a nice main course to serve with this salad on the side.
    The two recipes would make a great use of bacon if anything.

     

    As good as having a great hack!
    These kitchen helpers blew my mind and the time it takes me to make something in my kitchen!

    People ask, can you eat salad on a keto diet.

    To be honest, I do not know of many, if any, diets that do not include some kind of a salad included. When it comes to keto or low carb diet salads, you just need to remember to stick to the lower carb and low to no starch ingredients that go into the salad.

    This salad is based upon broccoli.

    One cup of broccoli nets out at about three to four carbohydrates depending on the size of the broccoli. If you use me keto sour cream ranch dressing, that should be about all of the added carbs in your salad.

    You may be wondering is ranch dressing OK on keto.

    As long as you stick to low to no carbs in the ingredients added to the dressing, you should be okay. Feel free to adjust the ingredients in my dressing recipe to your needs.

    Simply whisk or blend together following ingredients to make a simple Keto Sour Cream Ranch Dressing.

    • Mayonnaise -ยฝ cup
    • Sour Cream- ยฝ cup
    • Heavy Whipping Cream- 3 tablespoons
    • Garlic- 1 clove minced
    • Dill Weed- 1 teaspoon
    • Onion Powder- ยฝ teaspoon
    • Parsley- 1 teaspoon
    • Chives- 1 teaspoon
    • Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings, Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.

    Here are some tips for making a keto salad.

    I mentioned above that this salad is based upon broccoli which is the main source for any carbohydrates in this recipe. Feel free to sub in another lower carb vegetable (spinach, asparagus, or cucumbers) for part of the broccoli if you are wanting to lower the total carbs in this recipe.

    Here are some more helpful tips.

    1. This recipe includes cheddar cheese. Feel free to use the cheese of your choice or omit the cheese if desired.
    2. Good news for vegan diet followers! You can use vegan bacon (which exists) and vegan cheese (nutritional yeast!). The dressing can be made with vegan mayo and nut milk subbed in for the dairy in my recipe above.
    3. I suggest tossing the ingredients together just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
