Are Salads Keto Friendly?

Salads are a great option for anyone on a low carb or Ketogenic diet. The best way to make Keto friendly salads is to start with a base of low carb salad vegetables. Once you have your salad base you can start to build your fats. Adding ingredients such as bacon, avocado, cheeses and nuts are a great way to bulk your salad and add fats. Finally, to finish your Keto salad, choose a fat rich salad dressing. Extra virgin olive oil is always a great option. Once you have got the basics down it’s easy to know which salads to eat on Keto!

Keto Salad Ideas

Salads are always a versatile staple in any diet and can easily be adapted to suit your tastes and whatever is on hand in your fridge! This low carb salad has a base of arugula but this can be swapped for protein dense spinach if preferred. Likewise, if you are not a fan of goats cheese you can swap this for feta cheese and it will be equally as delicious! We have also used a maple flavored syrup in our salad dressing, however this can be swapped for your preferred low carb sweetener if desired. Please be sure to adjust your macros however for any changes that you make.
