Low Carb Fresh Berry Salad

A delicious & refreshing salad! 
Ingredients:
2 cups butter leaf lettuce
4 raspberries
5 blueberries
1/4 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup sliced jicama
1 ounce casera cheese, diced
1 tablespoon toasted coconut**
1 slice crisp bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons Walden Farms Pear  & White Balsamic Vinaigrette (Zero Calorie)

Method:
Tear the lettuce into bite sized pieces and place on a plate or in a large bowl. Sprinkle the berries, jicama and cheese over the lettuce. Garnish with the coconut and bacon. Drizzle with the dressing. Makes one lunch or dinner serving, or 2 side dish servings.

Nutritional info for the entire salad:
approximately 216.3 calories ~ 13.9 grams fat ~ 8.7 grams net carbs

Note: I was inspired to create this salad by my husband's favorite signature salad, at the Red Onion Restaurant, in Palos Verdes, California. The fresh berries add delicious flavors!

**To make toasted coconut, preheat oven to 350*. Spread 1 cup of flaked coconut on a baking sheet. Bake for 4 minutes, or just until lightly golden. 
Store completely cooled toasted coconut in an airtight container. Use as a garnish on salads, desserts and more.
