Simple Salads are the best! When doing low carb/ keto meals, having a simple salad to pair with your main dish is key. The simple arugula salad is amazingly easy and versatile where you can add different ingredients to keep it fresh. This recipe is perfect as is and can be adapted in many ways.
*Arugula is my staple for this recipe, but it can be varied with any other type of leafy green, such as spinach, kale, baby kale, spring mix, etc. For 2 servings, I usually will use half of a standard 5 oz. bag (or 2 large handfuls).
**For 2 servings, I usually use juice of half a lemon.
***For 2 servings, I use about a ½ T of olive oil.
The lemon and olive oil should together lightly dress the leafy greens. If you end up putting in too much, then you can add more leafy greens to the bowl to balance it out. If it is not dressed enough, then add a little more as you prefer.
****For the salt, I use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.
If you are including toppings (such as other veggies, cheese, etc.), include the toppings on the individual servings rather than tossing together within the bowl. This will allow you to properly portion over each serving.
