15 Low Carb Keto Green Salad Recipes; Delicious salads with a base of healthy greens and a variety of flavorful toppings

We are constantly told to eat more greens and salads are the simplest way to do that. Here are 15 Low Carb Keto Green Salad Recipes that will make eating your greens easy and enjoyable.

Why eat greens?

Mixed greens provide a healthy dose of vitamins A, C, K folate and potassium and also some calcium and iron. Very Well Fit has a great article about greens.

A typical container of mixed spring greens has only 1 net carb for 3 cups of greens. (3 carbs – 2 fiber = 1 net carb).

Romaine and Iceberg lettuce and spinach contain comparable macros (protein, carbs, fiber and calories) as spring greens. Romaine contains 3 net carbs per 3 cups, Iceberg contains 3 net carbs and spinach 0 net carbs. (All taken from the above link.)

Romaine and spinach contain comparable micronutrients but Iceberg lettuce contains far fewer.

Add a healthy fat

Or two—or three

Fat is what keeps us satisfied so we are not hungry in an hour.

It is what helps us absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Fat keeps our cells, skin and hair cells healthy.

Fat reduces inflammation.
