I love when a classic salad is keto-friendly. I can easily recreate it and and swap out some simple ingredients for low-carb ones! Luckily, this one didn’t need any swaps and we were able to add more of a base with some spring mix.
The balsamic vinegar can sometimes have a lot of sugar depending on what brand you go with. Be sure to look at the ingredients when buying from the store and try to find a sugar-free, low-carb option.
