Notes
- When turning bacon, grab far edge with tongs, and turn away from you. Cover with a mesh fryer screen. Carefully pour grease into a (not plastic!) bowl, set aside to cook eggs, proteins, veggies (beet greens anyone?) later.
- Save time by mixing the dressing together in the bowl, then add all the salad ingredients except the almonds all together.
- Chop the broccoli into small bite sized pieces to avoid a huge mouthful of broccoli
- Cut bacon fat off before chopping bacon. No need to bite into 100% bacon fat without any of the delicious salty bacon (unless you love it, then keep it together)
