Why does bacon cheeseburger salad need to chill?

If you’ve ever heard someone refer to a meal as needing to “set” before it’s enjoyed, that’s the case with this keto bacon cheeseburger salad!

By allowing the ingredients to chill in the refrigerator for one hour prior to serving, the different flavors are able to all work together. Plus, this allows the warmer ingredients to cool down and reach a more typical “salad temperature.”
