Markҳ Big-Ass Keto Salad

For years now, all those who know me (including readers of the blog) have heard me talk about my daily "big-ass salad." It's been my lunch of choice for a couple of decades at least, and I don't see that ever changing. Over the years I've adapted it to my personal tastes, nutritional experiments, and׬ately׭y keto practice.Some people minimize vegetable intake when they're eating keto. I've never found that necessary or beneficial. In fact, I highly recommend plenty of above-ground vegetables and even berries for an optimally varied, nutrient-dense keto diet. That's my Primal take because personally I practice keto with an eye toward strategy, not restriction.So, what about the fat? With fat comprising up to 75% of keto energy sourcing, you can bet we're talking about more than lettuce. This salad is no side dish for sure. I get a large portion of my fat intake from it every day׫eto weeks included. With a whole avocado, a generous chunk of Emmental cheese (my favorite cheese when I'm in ketosis), and a hefty (i.e. jaw-dropping) dose of my own PRIMAL KITCHENaesar Dressing with all the rich goodness of avocado oil, I literally call this my fat bomb salad. See if it won't make you a keto salad believer.Ingredients: Lettuce (I prefer a mix of romaine and dark leafy greens.) Cherry Tomatoes Chopped Avocado Broccolini Shaved Emmental Cheese PRIMAL KITCHENaesar DressingInstructions:Toss together the cut vegetables with mixed greens. Shave my favorite cheese, Emmental, over the entire salad. Smother with PRIMAL KITCHENaesar Dressing (no skimping allowed). Then enjoy.The post Markҳ Big-Ass Keto Salad appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple
