How To Make This Recipe

Chef’s Tips
- Swerve is a sugar replacement that is compliant with keto. If you are not on keto or do not have Swerve, you can replace it with a different sweetener.
- If on a vegetarian diet, switch out the bacon pieces for imitation bacon bits made with soy, such as McCormick Bac’n Pieces. For vegans, you can easily do the same, as well as swapping the mayo and cheese for vegan versions.
- Be sure to let your salad chill in the fridge for an hour or two before serving. This salad is best cool when the flavors really have a chance to soak in.
