Notes

Make ahead: If you want to make this ahead of time I recommend storing all ingredients separately and then building the salad right before you are ready to serve it.
Storage: Store leftover keto Cobb salad undressed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How to cook the perfect hard-boiled egg: Place the eggs in a large sauce pan with cold water. Add enough water that the eggs are fully submerged. Over high heat bring water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover and let sit for 12 minutes. Run each egg under cold water and peel immediately.
