What Kind of Salads Can You Eat on Keto?
Most all salad, by nature, is made up of some type of leafy green, sometimes a protein, and some type of dressing.
Leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, romaine, and spring mix are excellent choices on a Keto menu and they are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. Since most all protein is okay for Keto, the only issue some people may find with salads is the dressing used having too many carbs.
Store bought salad dressings almost always contain sugar or some other ingredient known to spike insulin. Because of that, homemade dressings for your salads is the way to go. And the great thing is, you can cater most Keto salad dressings to suit your own tastes.
