Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil or additional Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Allulose
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
Salad:
- 3 cups romaine or other greens
- 2 cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup cucumber sliced and cut in quarters
- 1 tablespoon red onion cut in slivers
- 8 pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Make the dressing by mixing all dressing ingredients until smooth. If possible, make a few hours ahead of time and chill so that flavors can mix.
- Tear Romaine into bite sized pieces. Cut cherry tomatoes into thin slices. Peel cucumber, cut into quarters and remove seeds, then slice. Cut red onions into slivers. Place all in a bowl large enough to hold and add olives.
- Just before serving, shake or mix dressing up and pour it over the top and toss. Sprinkle feta over the top.
Notes
The key to keeping this recipe low carb is to measure all ingredients. There is such a thing as "too many vegetables" for those trying to eat very low carb. Tomatoes and garlic can raise blood glucose, so don't use more than the recommended amount of either one.
Dairy-free: omit feta cheese
