Our Top 10 Keto Friendly Salads

Our Top 10 Keto Friendly Salads

The most delicious and healthy way to get more veggies in your diet is with a keto salad recipe. But why must we have the distinction of "keto salad"? Aren't all salads — with their leafy green and oily dressings — low-carb and keto-friendly anyway? Not necessarily. Many popular salads come with sugary dressings, bread, and croutons that turn one of the healthiest meals you can consume into a delivery mechanism for more carbs and unhealthy ingredients. Fortunately, your salad doesn't have ...

Keto Chicken Salad

Keto Chicken Salad

Chicken salad is one of the best keto staples. With the right ingredients, it checks all the boxes for a perfect keto-friendly meal: satisfying, delicious, healthy, convenient, and versatile.

A Comprehensive Guide to Keto-Friendly Salad Dressing

A Comprehensive Guide to Keto-Friendly Salad Dressing

Greens, meat, and high-fat dressing — the quick and easy keto trinity that’ll help you meet your needs for vitamins, minerals, fiber, fat, and protein in one low-carb meal.  Finding a healthy and tasty keto salad dressing, however, can get tricky when you venture beyond olive oil and vinegar. Most of the popular dressings will either be high in sugar or packed with inflammatory oils (and sometimes both). Even dressings that seem keto-friendly may still contain unhealthy ingredients. To ...

Keto Avocado and Salmon Salad

Keto Avocado and Salmon Salad

This salad is sure to leave you full until dinnertime. The base of this salad is a blissful spring mix next to smoked salmon, which is one of my favorite additions to any keto salad as it contains a high amount of fats and good protein.

The salad dressing includes a dash of sweetener with mustard and white wine vinegar. It is a perfect pair between sweet yet ...

Creamy Shrimp Salad

Creamy Shrimp Salad

A quick and easy shrimp salad that’s perfect for warmer weather. The dill adds a refreshing taste and the crunchy texture of the lettuce works well with the mayonnaise dressing. This delicious salad is stuffed with both fat and protein while having just a few carbs per serving. In this salad, I used Boston lettuce (also known as butterhead or bibb), but romaine would work as well! I would avoid lettuce like iceberg, just because it may be too difficult to eat.
