Keto Salad I Eat For Lunch Every Day

This salad tastes truly fantastic. Definitely better than a gourmet restaurant. The secret is using fresh tarragon or basil, as well as lots of olive oil. Don't skimp on those!

I eat this for lunch almost every day. It's keto and (almost) vegan because I usually don't add meat. Making it is almost meditative, and it's a great way to take a break from work. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, especially if you're going low carb/keto. This recipe serves 1 person and has 6 net carbs.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mixed greens, hand torn into small pieces
• 1 avocado
• 1 celery stalk
• 5 kalamata olives, chopped
• 1 Tbsp red, white or green onion
• 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 Tbsp crumbled cheese (I recommend goat cheese or aged cheese)
• Fresh tarragon or basil (I put a lot of it)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Salt to taste (put a lot if you're on keto)
• (Optional) 2 slices prosciutto or Serrano ham, or crumbled salmon/mackerel, bacon, or smoked meat. I usually don't eat meat during lunch though. Science suggests greater longevity keeping meat consumption to 5-8 oz per day. 

How to make:

• ProTip: Use kitchen scissors to cut most ingredients.
• Mix everything before adding olive oil and ACV.
