Everything Keto Salad Recipe with Tangy, Creamy Dressing
Are you tired of eggs and the same old salad combinations while following a keto or low-carb diet? Are you a bit bored with more of the same food every day? Do you find it hard to get in enough vegetables every day? This Everything Keto Salad Recipe with Tangy, Creamy Dressing provides plenty of veggies and helps break the monotony.
Let’s face it. You are unlikely to stick with a specific diet if it is boring, bland, or too much work. If you plan to make this way of eating a sustainable lifestyle change, you need variety in your meals.
This keto salad is a full meal in itself, containing chicken, eggs, lots of leafy greens, and a variety of textures and flavors.
Instead of traditional croutons, which are off-limits on a low-carb diet, sliced Brussel sprouts and radishes add crunch.
The Everything Keto Salad Recipe as presented here is for four servings. (Link to single-serving version) The Tangy, Creamy Dressing can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a week.
Tips for Preparing Your Salad
I prefer to weigh most ingredients as it is more accurate. An accurate kitchen scale is an excellent investment. It will help you with better recipe results, whether measuring salad ingredients, baking ingredients, or final portions.
And a good set of deep bowl measuring spoons with smaller increments is invaluable too.
To add extra crisp to your salad greens, trim and wash them—place in a plastic zipper storage bag or storage container with a lid. Place a dry paper towel in the container with your greens and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Slice or chop all of your ingredients.
Assembling Your Everything Keto Salad Recipe
This easy low-carb salad contains a large amount of leafy greens. You can substitute other varieties of lettuce and leafy greens. Keep in mind that substitutions will affect nutritional content.
Assemble your ingredients, except the butter, chicken, and dressing, on a dinner plate or in a pasta bowl. Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the chicken and heat until the butter is absorbed. Add chicken to the salad and top with the salad dressing.
Enjoy!
