Keto Avocado, Tomato, and Bacon Salad
Why I love Keto!!! Eating avocados, fresh picked tomatoes from my patio garden, and my favorite food, BACON!!
Keto Avocado, Tomato, and Bacon Salad
A yummy lunch, or late day snack of heart healthy avocados, tomatoes, and bacon……. The healthy fat of the avocado will keep you full for hours with no desire to snack. The bacon is 50% fat and 50% protein, the perfect combination for a Keto diet. ( This is a weekly treat, not daily, I believe in very limited quantities of bacon a week). Avocados are chuck full of vitamins B, E, K, and C and potassium. Avocados are the perfect food for glowing skin and hair and to keep you heart healthy… Fresh tomatoes are full of anti-oxidants and also help to keep skin young looking and firm ( very important when you are losing weight!)
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 TB extra virgin cold pressed olive oil from Italy Stored in glass bottle. I have found the best prices at HomeGoods

- 1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half and scoop out the seed, place on plate. Slice cherry tomatoes or whole tomatoes on the plate.
