If you miss the big chunks of bread normally served with Greek Salad, these Italian Bread Sticks are a great substitution. Or, if you want something with a little more spice, these Seasoned Tortilla Chips would be great served with it.
Is There Lettuce In a Greek Salad?
Nope! In a traditional Greek salad, there's no green leafy stuff. But with all the robust flavors in this low carb Greek salad, you won't miss it!
Can I Make Keto Greek Salad in Advance?
You can certainly prepare the vegetables in advance. Pre-chop all the veggies and put them in individual containers or zip lock bags then within an hour of serving, put all the ingredients in a bowl and toss with the dressing.
This Keto oil and vinegar dressing recipe can be made up to an hour in advance. Just mix it up and leave it sitting on the counter until you're ready to use it. Give it a good mix and pour over the salad.

Variations to Greek Salad
- If you want a more complete meal, add grilled shrimp or chicken, leftover lamb or steak to the salad.
- Avocado oil can be used to substitute the olive oil if you'd prefer.
- Kalamata olives are used in this recipe, but if your local grocery store has an olive bar, a mixed variety of olives would be a great idea.
- Don't tell any of your Greek relatives, but Parmesan cheese works really well with the other flavors in this salad. I can't help it, I'm Italian!
- Raw sliced zucchini can be used in addition to or in place of the cucumbers.
How to Store Leftover Greek Salad
This salad is best eaten within a few hours of making it, but you can put leftovers in an air tight container and store over night. The vegetables won't be as crisp and they will have more of a marinated texture, but it'll still have an excellent flavor.
