Low Carb Vegetarian Christmas Salad
This crunchy low carb salad makes a great vegetarian Keto recipe for the festive season. Our holiday salad is packed with low carb veggies, tangy blue cheese crumbles, dried cranberries, crunchy pecans and drizzled with a zesty orange dressing. This sweet and savory low carb salad can be served as both a lunch option or a side salad.
Can I Use Different Nuts?
We have used pecans in our crunchy vegetarian salad as they perfectly complement the other festive flavors of the dish. If you would like to use a different nut, walnuts would make a good substitution. You may also omit entirely for a nut-free diet. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Can I Use a Different Cheese?
We have used crumbled blue cheese to add some festive decadence to our Christmas Keto salad. If you would like to use a different cheese, soft, crumbly cheeses would make good substitutes. We recommend using a goats cheese or brie in the same quantities if you are looking for a replacement.
