Ketogenic Cabbage and Bacon Salad

This ketogenic cabbage and bacon salad is a delicious and refreshing way to get your daily dose of healthy fats and protein. The cabbage provides a crunchy base, while the bacon adds a smoky flavor. The red onion and celery add a bit of sweetness and crunch, and the walnuts add a nutty flavor and some healthy fats. The mayonnaise-based dressing is tangy and creamy, and it ties all the flavors together perfectly.

This recipe was inspired by my grandmother's classic cabbage salad. I wanted to create a ketogenic version that was just as delicious and refreshing, but without all the carbs. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe. I'm so glad I did, because this salad is now one of my favorite ketogenic meals.
