The Cobb-Made-Keto Bowl

THE GOOD FAT: Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fats, a type of good fat that supports heart health. Additionally, this fruit is rich in pantothenic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin that’s essential for the production of red blood cells and for breaking down fats and carbohydrates for energy.

Ingredients

Bowl

  • 8 3/4-oz slices bacon, no added nitrites or nitrates, chopped
  • 5 oz boneless skinless turkey or chicken breast, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil mayonnaise, divided
  • sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 cup finely chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

3. Place lettuce at the bottom of 4 bowls. Divide avocado, turkey mixture and egg mixture among bowls. Top each bowl with bacon, tomato and green onions.

4. Prepare Ranch Dressing: In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and mix well to combine. Drizzle each bowl with 2 tbsp dressing. Garnish with blue cheese (if using).
