Keto Greek Salad Wedges Recipe

Busy folks rejoice — this Keto Greek salad wedges recipe makes your low-carb diet your low-effort diet. Oh, and did I mention it’s also super cheap?

‘Low-Brow’ Lettuce Wedges

The classic wedge salad gets snubbed by many a food snob. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the dish that they find so offensive, or maybe they just can’t appreciate a good salad when it’s staring them right in the face.

Whatever the case, I think they’re missing out. I mean, if it’s good enough for Don Draper, it’s good enough for me. I miss Mad Men…

Anyway, its popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years, going from holding coveted spots on elite menus to being discarded in favor of the trendy lettuce of the time.

And perhaps the wedge’s struggling popularity is due to its usual base — iceberg lettuce.

Iceberg vs. Romaine

Now those are two names you don’t hear tossed about much these days. It’s all kale this and arugula that and, oh yes, pink lettuce.

Whoever dreamt up that one is genius. Capitalize on the people snapping their meals and sharing them on social. I’m sure they took to pink lettuce like ducks to water.

But your lunches don’t have to be picture perfect, they just have to be Keto. Both iceberg and romaine lettuce are acceptable for a low-carb diet, but I’ll explain why you might prefer romaine.

I like iceberg. It’s got a great crunch and it’s a really refreshing lettuce for summer. But, it is mostly water, so you’re not getting much if anything in the way of nutrients.

Romaine does a little better in the nutrition department. Romaine’s got more fiber, more folate, and more vitamin A and K. In fact, you can get a day’s supply of vitamin K with a serving of romaine!

That’ll help your wounds to heal (it aids in blood clotting) and assists with bone health.

So while romaine wins the battle, iceberg is still an option for Keto if you really prefer it. They’re both uber low-carb foods that won’t derail your diet.
