If you’re ready to get cooking, here are my best Tips & Tricks to make the best broccoli salad recipe:
Tips & Tricks for this Keto Broccoli Bacon Salad Recipe
1. Which ingredients can we change in this easy Keto broccoli salad recipe?
For the full cruciferous experience, you can make this salad with half broccoli and half cauliflower. Simply treat the cauliflower just like broccoli in the recipe.
Or, if broccoli just isn’t your thing, then swap it out completely for cauliflower. The salad will be just as healthy, crunchy, and low-carb.
If you don’t have walnuts, another keto-friendly nut will happily take their place. Try chopped toasted pecans, macadamia, or brazil nuts for healthy fats and crunch.
2. What to serve with Keto broccoli bacon salad
This summery easy keto broccoli salad recipe pairs well with most proteins as a crunchy side dish. I love it as a side with grilled chicken, pork, beef, or a flavorful fish like salmon.
For a complete keto menu that’s packed with cheesy goodness, whip up a quick batch of my low-carb Cheesy Chicken Fritters.
3. How to make this low carb broccoli salad Paleo & Whole30
This recipe is already naturally low-carb and packed with good-for-you veggies and protein. With a few simple swaps, you can turn it into a Paleo and Whole30-compliant recipe.
Substitute the mayo and sour cream in the creamy lemon dressing with a dairy-free paleo yogurt. Plain coconut yogurt will make a delicious substitution. The dressing will have a nice coconutty flavor.
You can also add a chopped apple to balance the flavors a bit if you like. Otherwise, the recipe is already gluten-free and grain-free and packed with healthy fats.
4. The best way to make extra crispy bacon (if you want to make the best broccoli salad recipe)
Call me the queen of crispy bacon, because I know the exact recipe for perfectly crisp bacon. And I’m thrilled to share it with you!
Here is the foolproof method for how to make the best crispy bacon ever:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the slices of bacon in a parchment paper-lined baking tray, without overlapping.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Lower the heat to 300°F (150°C) and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes more, until the bacon is dark in color and crisp. Keep an eye on it over the last few minutes to avoid burning!
5. When the bacon is done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess fat and get even crispier.
Tip: When it’s cool, chop the bacon in bite-sized pieces. You can also use the stems if desired. Peel them, then chop, chop, chop and sprinkle over your savory broccoli salad.
