I have a soft spot for salads, and this Keto Greek Salad is a particular favorite. This recipe tips its hat to a traditional Greek salad in flavor, but we reduce the tomatoes and add chopped romaine lettuce to keep the carbohydrates low. What we don’t sacrifice is flavor! This side dish is vibrant, stunning, and oh-so-delicious!
Looking for a delicious keto salad recipe?
This Greek salad is perfect for you! It is loaded with fresh vegetables tossed with a delicious vinaigrette.
This salad is perfect for a quick lunch or as a side to dinner.
Serve it with Keto Salmon, Grilled Lamb Kebabs, Grilled Mahi Mahi, or Keto Lamb Meatballs. For a keto vegetarian meal, pair it with Keto Halloumi Fries.
Ingredient Notes
- Olive Oil: This is the time to pull out your best olive oil, as it will have a huge impact on the richness of the dressing.
- Vinegar: I use red wine vinegar. Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar are also great options.
- Tomatoes: I love tomatoes, but the carbs can add up quickly. Feel free to use more if you are not keto and just looking for a low-carb salad.
- Feta: I find that a chunk of feta in its brine has much more flavor than a container of crumbled feta.
- Olives: You can use whatever type of olive you prefer. I like good quality kalamata olives here.
Tips & Tricks
- You can make the salad and dressing ahead of time, but wait to toss it until just before serving.
- Since we are getting creative with our keto vegetable salad, feel free to add additional toppings. Red onion, zucchini, or roasted bell peppers are great options.
- Want to add protein to make this a meal? Chicken or beef are both great options.
