Ingredients:
Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 serving Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 juice lemon
- 1 Tbsp. granulated allulose
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- basil leaves Loose handful, torn into ribbons
Salad
- 6 quail eggs *
- 6 cups spring mix or other fresh lettuce, washed and dried
- 4 radishes thinly sliced**
- 2 Persian cucumbers thinly sliced
- 1 avocado ripe, sliced
- Small bunch fresh chives minced***
- Petals from edible flowers like pansies, or nasturtiums
Directions:
- To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise and olive oil in a large mixing bowl, then add the Keto Chow, water, lemon juice, allulose, and salt. Whisk everything together well, then stir in the basil leaves.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Stir again before serving.
- To make the salad, prepare a bowl of ice water. Then, bring a small pot of water to a boil and carefully add the quail eggs. Cover and boil for three minutes.
- Drain and place the eggs directly into the ice water. Let them chill for three to five minutes.
- Peel the eggs by pinching at the large end to get started easily; there should be an air gap there. One peeled, rinse to remove any remaining shell.
- Arrange the lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, and avocado in a large salad bowl or platter.
- Garnish with minced scallions and flower petals. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently place them around the salad. Serve with the dressing.
- The salad will keep without salad dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
*If you can’t or prefer not to quail eggs, use two hen’s eggs, hard boiled and sliced into circles. **Heirloom radishes like watermelon radishes or French butter radishes will make the colors extra bright and fun. ***Add any other herbs you enjoy. Chervil, basil, parsley, and dill are all great options.
