I have a soft spot for salads, and this Keto Greek Salad is a particular favorite.  This recipe tips its hat to a traditional Greek salad in flavor, but we reduce the tomatoes and add chopped romaine lettuce to keep the carbohydrates low.

Ingredient Notes

  • Vinegar:  I use red wine vinegar.  Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar are also great options.
  • Tomatoes: Each serving lands at about 4.2g net carbs. Tomatoes are the one ingredient to watch here. They’re where the carbs creep up, which is why this version keeps them light and adds lettuce.
  • Feta:  I find that a chunk of feta in its brine has much more flavor than a container of crumbled feta.

Tips & Tricks

  • You can make the salad and dressing ahead of time, but wait to toss it until just before serving.
  • Since this is a loose interpretation of a greek salad to keep it keto, feel free to add additional toppings.  Red onion, zucchini, or roasted bell peppers are great options.
  • Want to add protein to make this a meal? Chicken or beef are both great options.
