Salade Niçoise (Keto sans Pommes de Terre)
Keto Niçoise Salad (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and substantial salad originating from Nice, featuring mixed greens, seared tuna (or canned in oil), hard-boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, Niçoise olives, and anchovy fillets. Traditionally includes potatoes. For keto, all potatoes must be omitted, and a simple, sugar-free vinaigrette is used.
Key ingredients
Mixed greens, seared tuna (or canned in olive oil), hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, Niçoise olives, anchovy fillets, red onion (minimal), green beans (small portion), bell peppers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
