Keto Cobb Salad: The Ultimate Crunch & Fuel Meal
A protein-packed, nutrient-dense dish that fuels your body while keeping carbs low. Each bite delivers crispy, savory goodness balanced with creamy avocado, fresh microgreens, and a burst of citrus. Perfect for a power breakfast or a satisfying lunch.
Ingredients (Serves 1-2)
For the Main Plate:
- 3 slices of crispy, high-quality bacon
- 2 large eggs, boiled to perfection (soft, medium, or hard)
- ½ cup fresh baby spinach
- ¼ cup microgreens (sunflower or radish for a peppery kick)
- 5-6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ounce feta cheese, cubed
For the Side Plate:
- ½ ripe avocado, pit intact for freshness
- ¼ cup mixed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia)
- Small handful of arugula
- 1 extra cube of feta
For the Zesty Finish:
- ½ lemon
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Crisp Up the Bacon
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Lay the bacon strips flat without overcrowding. Let them sizzle until golden and crispy. Flip once for even cooking. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
2. Perfect the Eggs
While the bacon cooks, bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Lower the eggs in carefully. Boil for 6 minutes for jammy yolks, 8 minutes for medium, or 10 minutes for firm yolks. Transfer them to an ice bath, then peel.
3. Plate It Like a Pro
Arrange the spinach, tomatoes, onions, and microgreens on a clean plate. Lay the crispy bacon alongside. Halve the boiled eggs and season them lightly. Place the feta cube in the center.
4. Build the Side Plate
Cut the avocado in half, keeping the pit in one side. Arrange the nuts, arugula, and extra feta on a separate small plate.
5. The Grand Finale
Squeeze fresh lemon over everything. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Pro Tip: Scoop a bit of avocado onto your fork with some bacon and microgreens for the perfect bite.
