Whether you’re a salad person or not, a keto dieter or not, you can bet these keto salad recipes will hit the spot! Sometimes you crave a little fresh!
Are you a salad person? I’m not.
But I’m also not a huge meat person. I lean more toward the “tons of low carb veggies” camp rather than the “carnivore keto” camp.
Still, it took me YEARS to figure out some tricks to getting myself to enjoy a salad. One of those tricks is to simply have the right salad recipes! The right combo of ingredients really makes a salad work.

Keto salad recipes are especially difficult to find because we’re all watching our carbs and some vegetables are surprisingly high in carbohydrates.
It can be just as easy to throw a salad together doing the keto diet, but it just takes some adjustment and knowing which vegetables are lower in carbohydrates.

1. Keto Sweet Pork Salad
If you love Cafe Rio and Costa Vida, you’ll love this keto sweet pork salad. It has tender, flavorful shredded sweet pork on a romaine salad with avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro, Mexican cheeses, tomato, and a creamy keto tomatillo dressing.

2. Caprese Avocado Salad
This first salad is one of my favorites. If you’re anything like me and suffer from salad avoidance, you’ll want to try this one.
Maybe it’s because it’s a little different, maybe it’s because there are no leafy greens, but it doesn’t feel like your typical low carb salad recipe.
The cucumbers make this salad feel light, while the mozzarella and avocado fill you up. It’s agreat combo.Give Caprese Avocado Salad a try!
