Vegetarian Keto Club Salad

Keto Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

Being keto doesn’t have to be hard for all you vegetarians out there! Whether you have been doing keto for a while now, or have just made the switch, it can seem like every recipe you come across is meat heavy and low on the veggies. If you have been used to eating a diet that was primarily fruits and vegetables it can certainly leave you feeling like you are missing out and maybe even craving some of that fresh and crunchy texture. My solution? The simple but oh so filling keto salad!

Vegetarian Keto Cobb Salad

Yes, it’s different from a traditional club sandwich or even a club salad, but the flavors will have you happily munching on vegetables without missing the bread or the meat! The makings of a satisfying salad come with a few integral parts: the crunch factor, the creamy and savory dressing, and the kick. This salad is loaded with crisp romaine lettuce and cucumber and balanced with cheddar cheese cubes, hardboiled egg and a creamy mayonnaise based dressing. Then, the spicy kick of Dijon mustard brings this salad together in an explosion of flavor.

Surprised I could get so excited about a simple salad? So was I! You could certainly add meat to this dish but the balance of flavors is great without! The calorie count is high on this salad because of the rich dressing and cheese. It’s high in fat and moderate on protein so it’s perfect for a keto lunch or dinner!
