Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon (nitrate and sugar free)
  • 7 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups diced tomatoes
  • ½ of a cucumber , sliced and quartered
  • 1 cup diced avocado
  • 4 hard boiled eggs ( halved or diced )

Balsamic Dressing Ingredients:

Instructions

  • Lay the bacon onto a microwave safe plate in between paper towels. Microwave until crisp. ( I microwaved the bacon for 4 minutes, checked on it, and then microwaved it for another 2 minutes.) Crumble up the bacon into pieces.
  • Hard-boil the eggs. Cook in boiling water for 20 minutes.
  • Make the dressing. Put the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, mayo and mustard into a bowl. Mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix the cabbage and carrots together in a large bowl. Take 2 cups of the cabbage-carrot mixture and set it aside. Then, put the rest of the shredded cabbage and carrots into a frying pan with 1 Tbs of olive oil. Sauté over medium-high heat until the cabbage has softened and wilted. This should take about 5-7 minutes ( it depends on how thin the cabbage is shredded).
  • Put the sautéed cabbage into a large bowl. Add the 2 cups of raw shredded cabbage and carrots and mix. Add the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado to the bowl. Then add 1/2 of the dressing and mix.
  • Serve the salad in plates or bowls.
  • Add the crumbled bacon and hardboiled egg to each individual plate. Sprinkle the remaining dressing on top of each plate.

Notes

  • If you are going to make this salad in advance, don't add the bacon or it will get soggy.
  • If you are following a Paleo or Whole30 diet, make sure to use Paleo or Whole30 mayonnaise. I like primal kitchen mayo.
  • You can mix all of the salad together in advance or serve it deconstructed with the cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, bacon and egg on top.
