Keto Broccoli Salad
This easy broccoli salad is the perfect meal prep recipe. Besides being well-rounded and healthy, we think it’s even better the next day. If you’re vegetarian, swap out the bacon for a diced avocado—the creaminess is a great compliment to the snappy broccoli.

FOR THE SALAD
kosher salt
3 heads broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 c. toasted sliced almonds
