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 Super Easy Spinach Scrambled Eggs

Hi Ness. I have to say I am very impressed with your web site and recipes! I've been trying to follow RSF, gluten and dairy free diet. Your web site is exactly what I've been looking for!
Now, I have a question regarding your hollandaise sauce. Do the egg yolks need to bee at room temperature? I know that for making home made mayonnaise they do , otherwise the sauce will not thicken...

Thank you so much. So happy that you are enjoying the recipes. I have made the sauce with both chilled eggs and room temp eggs and it has worked well either way. But go for what you know works for you 🙂 x
