What You’ll Need:
For the “bacon”
1 c thick, unsweetened coconut shreds
½ Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Tamari
½ tsp paprika
½ Tbsp honey. Local to your area
½ tsp liquid smoke (if you can’t find this, just omit!)
Pinch sea salt
Parchment paper
For the honey mustard dressing;
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp stone ground mustard
Zest AND juice of 1 lime
¼ c olive oil
2 tsp honey, local to your area
For the salad:
1 head iceberg lettuce, base removed & quartered
1 pint cherry tomato, halved
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 avocado, quartered & sliced
4-5 ounces bleu cheese, crumbled
4 eggs, hardboiled and chopped
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil for the eggs.
Then, preheat oven to 325*
Mix ingredients for “bacon” in a medium bowl, toss to coat. If you can’t find liquid smoke, no biggie, just omit!
Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper & pop into the oven for 6 minutes.While coconut transforms, combine ingredients for dressing a small food processor or blender. Pulse & set aside.
When timer goes off for the bacon, remove, stir & pop back into the oven for a final 4 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Slowly spoon eggs into boiling water & boil for 9 minutes.
While eggs cook, prepare salad ingredients & divide among (4) Tupperware containers for easy grab & go lunches all week long OR in one large salad bowl to share.
Rinse cooked eggs with cold water. Peel, slice in half & add to salads.
Sprinkle each salad with prepared “bacon” & honey mustard dressing just before serving. Be so happy!
Serves 4 as a main, more as a side.
