Notes
Choose Crisp, Fresh Lettuce – Use romaine or butter lettuce leaves to give a sturdy, fresh base for your salad. This adds crunch and makes it easier to scoop up every delicious bite.
Dice the Apple Finely – Keep apple pieces small to add a hint of sweetness without overpowering the keto balance. This also helps you enjoy a bit of apple in each forkful while keeping the carbs in check.
Toast the Pumpkin Seeds – Lightly toasting the pumpkin seeds can bring out a rich, nutty flavor that makes the salad even tastier. Just a couple of minutes in a dry skillet will do the trick.
Chill Before Serving – Letting the salad sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes allows the flavors to meld. This makes it taste even better when you’re ready to serve!
