What it is
A substantial, classic American Chef Salad, tailored for keto with a generous mix of fresh greens, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and whole meat proteins like grilled chicken or steak strips.
Key ingredients
Mixed greens, hard-boiled eggs (sliced), cheddar or Swiss cheese (cubed), grilled chicken breast or steak strips, bacon bits, cucumber, a few bell pepper slices. Dressing: Ranch, Blue Cheese, or Oil & Vinegar.
How to make it keto
No croutons. Avoid sugary dressings; opt for keto-friendly choices on the side. Request whole meat proteins (grilled chicken, steak) instead of highly processed deli meats that may contain added sugars or fillers.
Watch out for
Croutons (major risk), sugary salad dressings (e.g., honey mustard, sweet vinaigrettes), processed deli meats (often contain dextrose/sugar), candied nuts, excessive amounts of high-carb vegetables like corn or large quantities of carrots.
