This meal is a perfect blend of flavors and textures, featuring crispy bacon, crunchy almonds, and perfectly cooked vegetables, all tossed in a simple olive oil dressing.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and trim the 8 asparagus spears. Cut them into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets. You can also peel and slice the stalk if you like.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 4 strips of bacon and cook until crispy, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest. If you prefer, you can add an additional tablespoon of olive oil instead.
- Spread the 1/2 cup almonds on a baking sheet.
- Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Be sure to give them a quick toss halfway through to prevent burning.
- Once roasted, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before chopping them coarsely.
- Return the skillet with the reserved bacon fat to medium heat. If you didn't reserve the bacon fat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the broccoli florets and asparagus pieces to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large bowl.
- Add the crumbled bacon and chopped roasted almonds.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss everything to combine.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your keto-friendly bacon and broccoli salad!
Tips:
- Blanch the broccoli and asparagus to keep them crisp and bright in color.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a contrasting texture to the salad.
- Toast the almonds lightly for added flavor and crunch.
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best dressing.
- Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
This warm bacon and broccoli keto salad is both satisfying and nutritious. It makes for an excellent side dish or a light main course. The combination of bacon and almonds adds a delightful crunch, while the olive oil and seasoning enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables. Enjoy this dish fresh out of the kitchen for the best experience.
