Hungry for a salad that’s stacked high with protein and flavor? This is it my paleo friends.
As you can see this is not a few wimpy leaves and a spritz of dressing.
This salad is a meal. You need an appetite – a pretty good one in fact – to really enjoy it.
Lots of protein and good fats share a plate here…including shrimp, eggs, bacon, and avocado.
This salad is what you crave when you finish one of those kick-butt workouts for the record books. Yep you earn this one.
And here’s what you’re really going to love about this paleo salad – it’s quick and easy. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-linerc’]
You boil some eggs, fry the bacon, and sauté the shrimp in the bacon fat.
You stir around a handful of ingredients and you’ve got your garlic vinaigrette.
That’s about it. So simple. So satisfying. So good.
I don’t know what else to say about this one – other than, enjoy!
