Keto Springtime Chopped Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Slice the romaine lettuce into very thin strips. Rinse the lettuce well, then spin the lettuce in a salad spinner to remove as much water as possible. Place the lettuce into a large mixing bowl. Wash the outside of the purple cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and then into quarters. Remove the core from one of the quarters. Slice the quarter into very thin slices, enough for 4 oz worth. Place this in the bowl with the sliced romaine lettuce.
Step 2
Add quartered cherry tomatoes, finely diced cucumber, diced pickled red peppers, and sliced green olives. You can prepare the salad ingredients ahead of time. Place the bowl of ingredients in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Step 3
In the meantime, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and grated garlic clove with a whisk. Set aside until ready to serve the salad.
Step 4
When the salad is ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad. Toss well to combine. Serve immediately so the salad is cold and crisp!
