Recipe Notes

Sweetener: Granular Swerve Sweetener is available at most grocery stores, or you can order it online. Feel free to replace this with your preferred keto sweetener - but be sure to adjust the amount you use based on the type of sweetener.
Onion: If you're following a strict keto diet, omit the red onion to reduce the carb count. Maintain the flavor by adding ½-1 teaspoon onion powder to the dressing.
Make it Vegan: Use a vegan mayo and a vegan cheddar cheese. Replace the crumbled bacon with imitation bacon pieces or omit this ingredient entirely.
Leftovers: Refrigerate leftover salad in an airtight container. Consume within 5 days.
