The Greek salad is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the Peloponnese region of Greece, and it is typically made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta cheese, and olives. Over time, the salad has evolved to include a variety of other ingredients, such as pepperoncini peppers, capers, and oregano. This keto-friendly version of the Greek salad is a modern take on the classic dish. It uses romaine lettuce instead of tomatoes, and it omits the capers and oregano. The result is a salad that is still flavorful and satisfying, but it is also lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats. This salad is a great option for those following a ketogenic diet. It is also a good choice for those who are looking for a light and refreshing meal.
