Can I Make Keto Greek Salad in Advance?

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.
