Carbohydrates: 10 grams
Fiber: 3 grams
Net Carbs: 7 grams
8 strips bacon (about 1/2 pound)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small apple, thinly sliced
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoon granular sugar substitute
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
4-1/2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1-1/2 pounds (about 12 cups) mixed greens
1/2 teaspoon pomegranate seeds (optional)
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon 7
minutes, until brown and crisp. Drain bacon on paper
towels; crumble and reserve. Pour bacon fat into a
measuring cup and add as much olive oil as needed
(about 3 tablespoons) to make 1/2 cup. Pour mixture
back into skillet.
2. Add apple and onion to skillet. Cook until apple is fork
tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in sugar substitute, lemon
and orange juices and rinds. Mix well; heat 30 seconds.
3. Pour dressing over greens; add crumbled bacon and
pomegranate seeds, if using. Toss until greens are well
coated and wilted. Serve warm.
Choose hearty greens for this salad, such as spinach,
watercress, radicchio, endive and arugula. Their peppery flavor
and firmer texture hold up well to the warm citrus vinaigrette and
the smoky bits of bacon.
