Low Carb Tuna and Jalapeño Salad
This tasty Keto salad is loaded with flavor from low carb veggies and healthy fats. Our Keto salad recipe is prepared with a base of cauliflower rice cooked with a little lemon zest and garlic powder, sweet fresh tomato, cooling cucumber, scallions, creamy avocado, canned tuna, and sliced jalapeños. The salad is then drizzled with olive oil and topped with fresh chopped cilantro to serve.
Can I Use a Different Protein?
We have used canned tuna for this Keto salad recipe. Tuna is a great source of protein and requires little to no prep. You can, of course, use a different protein if desired. Cooked, shredded chicken or pulled pork would make tasty alternatives. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Are Tomatoes Keto?
Although they sit at the higher end of the low carb vegetable table, tomatoes can still be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced Keto diet. We have used just half a medium tomato for this recipe. This is enough to provide sweetness and flavor whilst keeping the carb count low.
