Keto Traditional Greek Salad
If there were an ultimate Keto Traditional Greek Salad, this would be it. Crispy, cool, diced cucumbers are combined with diced Roma tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, diced green bell peppers, and creamy diced avocados. The entire salad is tossed with a delicious lemon vinaigrette made with extra virgin olive oil (use a good brand because the taste is wonderful), dried oregano, parsley, and dill.
Do I have to use dried herbs?
While fresh herbs are always better in most cases, dried herbs have their place and offer a slightly different experience. If you have fresh herbs on hand, use them, but dried herbs are practical for most occasions and equally delicious if you decide to use fresh herbs, triple the amount listed in the recipe.
How should I cut the vegetables?
It would be best to dice all the vegetables at the same size for the best overall appearance of the final salad and ultimate eating experience. You will love this versatile and easy Keto side dish. Feel free to substitute the Roma tomatoes for halved cherry tomatoes. However, these varieties are excellent because they are less watery.
How should I prepare the garlic for the dressing?
Grating garlic on a Microplane yields the best flavor because it helps distribute the garlic throughout the vinaigrette, but if this is not an option for you, mince the garlic very fine instead.

Recipe Steps
steps 3
15 min
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the vegetables for the salad. Dice the cucumber into a ½” x ½” cube. You do not need to remove the seeds from the cucumber unless the seeds are too large and fibrous. If you remove the seeds make sure the amount of cucumber still weighs one pound without seeds. Match the other vegetables to this size by cutting them roughly the same. Dice the tomatoes, do not remove the seeds. Slice the red onion by first cutting off both ends. Then slice the onion in half and remove the skin. Slice each half onion lengthwise and then use one of the sections by slicing them into short julienned pieces. Drain and slice the kalamatas in half. Slice an avocado in half, remove the seeds and skin. Then dice the avocado into cubes. Slice the flesh off the green bell pepper and then cut each section into a ½” x ½” dice as well. Place all the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl and set aside.Step 2
In the meantime, prepare the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, grated garlic clove, dried oregano, dried dill and dried parsley. Whisk it well to combine and pour it over the entire salad.Step 3
Toss the salad and serve immediately, if not store in the refrigerator for up to one day covered tightly with plastic wrap.

I make this salad often because it's so good and healthy. Occasionally I chop up baby spinach to add and/or add some anchovy paste to the dressing.

What is the problem? The salad is made for 12 but it is only 3.8 carbs per bowl. Looks right with me.

To much lemon it overpowered everything. If I make it again I’ll use a few drops.

This dish really is not keto friendly but I did make it to try it and it’s very good. It would make a great dish for a gathering.

It says above that makes 12 bowls so the nutrition is for just the 1 :)

yeah I hope those numbers are off because the salad looks good but is like two and a half over my carb limit FOR THE ENTIRE DAY

It says keto friendly. Why do you say it isn’t?

I’m new to Keto diet. I thought everything that they give you to eat, was meant to be Keto friendly.
