This is a refreshingly tasty salad that you can serve any day of the year but pairs especially well with summertime meats cooked on the grill.
It’s light, fresh and so freaking good. You can add bacon or even fresh blue cheese to add even more yummy flavors. As with everything keto, experiment by adding in new flavors and meats until you end up with the perfect salad for your own personal taste.
