- 6 slices bacon
- 4 eggs
- 200 grams jalapeno havarti wedges cut into cubes
- 4 cups romaine lettuce shredded, washed & spun dry
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 11.5 oz can of corn kernels drained
Quick Pickled Onions
- ½ red onion sliced thinly
- 1 clove garlic minced
- pinch salt
- pinch oregano
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
Guacamole
- 2 avocados scooped out
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ lime juiced
- salt to taste
Prepare bacon - Cook your bacon in a frying pan or in the oven using this tutorial. Cool completely. Prepare eggs - Prepare hard boiled eggs using your favorite method or in the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water on high pressure for 6 minutes with a quick pressure release before transferring to an ice bath.
Pickled red onions - In a mason jar, combine all ingredients. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until onions are soft and bright pink. Allow to cool before serving. *See note 1
Guacamole - In a bowl, mash together the avocados, garlic, lime juice and salt.
Combine salad - Chop up the bacon, eggs, and jalapeno havarti. Divide the romaine lettuce, corn, cherry tomatoes, eggs, bacon, havarti, guacamole, and pickled red onions between four bowls. Enjoy!
- The pickled onions in this salad add quite a bit of tanginess to it. I found that vinaigrettes added too much 'tang' to the recipe. If you would like to add a dressing, make sure it is quite mild!
To Meal Prep
To meal prep, use a 3-compartment meal prep container to keep the ingredients separate prior to serving. Leave off the guacamole; you can add freshly sliced avocado or avocado dressing.
