    One of the best parts of summer time salads is being able to use beautiful in season vegetables. They have such vibrant colors and the flavors stand alone without having to have a heavy or complicated dressing.

    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Yellow bell pepper
    • Kalamata olives

    You can chill it in the fridge for an hour before serving or serve right away.  Add a dusting of dried oregano right before serving.

    If you miss the big chunks of bread normally served with Greek Salad, these Italian Bread Sticks are a great substitution. Or, if you want something with a little more spice, these Seasoned Tortilla Chips would be great served with it.

    Is There Lettuce In a Greek Salad?

    Nope! In a traditional Greek salad, there's no green leafy stuff. But with all the robust flavors in this low carb Greek salad, you won't miss it!

    Can I Make Keto Greek Salad in Advance?

    You can certainly prepare the vegetables in advance. Pre-chop all the veggies and put them in individual containers or zip lock bags then within an hour of serving, put all the ingredients in a bowl and toss with the dressing.

    This Keto oil and vinegar dressing recipe can be made up to an hour in advance. Just mix it up and leave it sitting on the counter until you're ready to use it. Give it a good mix and pour over the salad.

    Is Greek Salad Keto? What are the Carb in Greek Salad?

    If you look over the list of ingredients in this recipe, one thing should stand out. Every ingredient is Keto-friendly. How awesome is that? And the salad uses all tradtional ingredients without having to make any alterations.

    Though it has about 4 net carbs per serving, all of those carbs come from fresh low carb produce. And this salad is literally a nutrient power house. If you're curious about the nutritional value of olives, cucumbers, tomatoes or any of these ingredients, Healthline has so many wonderful articles for you to check out.

    Variations to Greek Salad

    • If you want a more complete meal, add grilled shrimp or chicken, leftover lamb or steak to the salad.
    • Avocado oil can be used to substitute the olive oil if you'd prefer.
    • Kalamata olives are used in this recipe, but if your local grocery store has an olive bar, a mixed variety of olives would be a great idea.
    • Don't tell any of your Greek relatives, but Parmesan cheese works really well with the other flavors in this salad. I can't help it, I'm Italian!
    • Raw sliced zucchini can be used in addition to or in place of the cucumbers.

    How to Store Leftover Greek Salad

    This salad is best eaten within a few hours of making it, but you can put leftovers in an air tight container and store over night. The vegetables won't be as crisp and they will have more of a marinated texture, but it'll still have an excellent flavor.

      Yum! Made this tonight with some Mediterranean inspired chicken. It was a great compliment and actually the highlight of the meal. Someone on pinterest commented that it was too heavy on the vinegar. Personally, I disagree and thought it was well balanced as is, but different strokes. I will definitely be making this again and again!

        I think it has the perfect amount of vinegar as well. I am glad you enjoyed it.
