Homemade Keto Caesar Salad

Homemade Keto Caesar Salad

Here's how you can make a classic Caesar salad at home, with keto-friendly ingredients.  We add plenty of Parmesan cheese and dressing but skip the croutons in favor of crispy bacon.  If you've already got leftover chicken on hand, then you could make this for lunch in no time at all. The dressing uses anchovy fillets, giving it that classic flavor profile,  but if you can't stand them then feel free to skip it.  Another tip is that if you can find jarred anchovies then use those instead ...

Cold Zucchini Salad

Cold Zucchini Salad

This cold zucchini salad is the perfect summery salad for serving alongside BBQ.  We create this with sauteed zucchini, celery, lots of onion, and a mayonnaise-based dressing.  This salad is great for making ahead because it's even better if you let it sit overnight. There's no need to bust out the spiralizer or even the vegetable peeler because the zucchini is very simply chopped, which gives it a great chunky texture.  Try adding some rotisserie chicken and feta cheese for a heartier ...

Keto Asparagus, Egg, and Bacon Salad

Keto Asparagus, Egg, and Bacon Salad

An asparagus salad topped with bacon and eggs, then dressed with a tangy dijon vinaigrette.  The dressing is easily made with pantry staples that you likely have on hand.  That makes it great for whipping up any time you find great asparagus. You can save time by making extra hard-boiled eggs or bacon when you cook them for other recipes.  That way, all you have to do is blanch the asparagus and create the dressing.  I like to have both in my fridge at all times. Yields 2 servings of ...

Greek Cauliflower Salad

Greek Cauliflower Salad

I always used to have this whenever I went out to Greek restaurants. It is a nice combination of rice, cucumber, olives,  and feta with a side of tzatziki. It tastes amazing! So I tried to keto-fy the recipe using cauliflower rice instead. For this recipe, I used pre-shredded cauliflower. If you can’t find it in stores, you can buy a head of cauliflower and use a knife, food processor, or blender to cut them into rice-sized pieces. This makes a lot of servings. You can always halve the ...

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 ...

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 ...
