KETO RECIPE: Chopped Greek Salad

Every year as spring comes to the west coast, I ditch my sweaters and soup and start craving SALADS!

Salads are a great option for eating out on Keto. I can find a low carb salad option at any restaurant. I often add grilled salmon for some healthy protein. 

But sometimes when the weather is warm, I like to make Salads at home. I throw a bunch of ingredients into a giant bowl and enjoy it on my patio, or better yet, in my Jacuzzi. I especially love this Chopped Greek Salad recipe. The best thing about it is that you can customize it to include all of your favorite things. I love adding salami, pepperoni, and avocado. 

This Keto Recipe is from my first Cookbook, The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook. This cookbook also includes recipes for a BLT Breakfast Salad, Shrimp and Avocado Salad, Blue Cheese and Bacon Kale Salad and many more!

  • Pink slat

  • Ground Black Pepper

  1. In a large bowl, combine romaine, olives, tomatoes, feta, and dressing.

  2. Sprinkle pink salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine.
