I had my first breakfast salad earlier this year when I had a weekend away with my besties.
I had heard a lot about breakfast salads, but never had gotten around to making one. Don’t make the same mistake as me – go make one this week! Let me tell you they are packed full of nutritious ingredients, they taste amazing, and this one is fairly easy to make.
I found an amazing hollandaise recipe over at Paleo Cupboard which is dairy free, and really easy to make – so long as you have a good blender.
I also have found a great way to poach eggs, so I will share that with you also – check the method below.
This breakfast salad is also perfect if you are following a Keto lifestyle – you get a running start to your vegetable intake for the day, and getting some great fats in while avoiding all of the refined carbohydrates that often define a western breakfast.
Other awesome Keto breakfasts that I highly recommend to start your day off well include Shakshouka and the Becomingness big breakfast.
Enjoy
