Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad

Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad. There is a very funny true story which leads to the recipe.  Way back in the day I often had a hard time being invited to anyone’s house for dinner because of the way I cooked.  Sadly, my insecure friends were intimidated. They had all been to my house for dinner multiple times and were convinced they could not make something suitable that I would eat. I finally just kinda got mad and told them that I loved pot roast, pretty much thinking anyone can fix an edible pot roast and until they invited me for dinner I would not have them over again.  Sooo, my friend Carol said she could make a pretty good one and invited me for dinner and WOW, don’t always believe someone when they say they make a pretty mean pot roast because I am here to tell you her pot roast was mean and not in such a good way. Apparently she put a frozen chunk of meat in her slow cooker at 2:00 in the afternoon and I was to come at 5:30. When I got there the roast was still frozen in the center and would probably have needed another 4-5 hours to cook. Oh Lordy, and what to do. I got on the phone to our local grocery that spit-cooked X number of chickens per day and yes, I asked them to hold the last one while I drove over to pick it up. Meanwhile Carol peeled and started cooking the potatoes. We (I) had decided mashed might be better. Well we ate that chicken with mashed potatoes at about 7:00 but laugh? Oh yeah, we laughed alright and to this day nearly 25 yrs. later we still laugh about it. Did Carol ever finally make pot roast for me? Not on your life.

After I had moved I met other people who could cook and were not in the least bit worried about serving me a terrific meal and Dorothy was one of those people. I asked for her salad Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad and here it is. The only things I have subbed are toasted almonds in place of water chestnuts, a sugar-free ketchup and Allulose which is zero carb and paleo.
