Our Keto-friendly salad is prepared with fragrant fennel, crisp radishes, sweet red onion, romaine lettuce leaves, diced pancetta, olive oil, and a hint of lemon juice. Perfect as a light Keto meal option.

What is Fennel?

Fennel is a fragrant low carb vegetable with a mild licorice-like taste. It is a member of the carrot family and pairs well with pork, chicken and fish. For this low carb recipe, we have very thinly sliced the fennel to add to the salad. You can do this very carefully with a sharp vegetable knife, or you can use a mandolin slicer.

Can I Make This Vegan?

We have added crispy fried diced pancetta to our low carb salad for added flavor and fats. If you would prefer not to use pork or would like to make the recipe vegan, you can easily omit this. You could instead replace the pancetta with some toasted nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
