This healthy low-carb salad is fresh, pretty and goes together in just a few minutes. It’s a spectacular dish for a keto dinner party, bbq or pot luck supper with the generous leaves, jewel like pomegranate arils and the most delicious and pretty raspberry dressing that I’ve ever tasted.
This sugar-free dressing makes enough for some leftovers and I’m seriously wondering if you could pour it over some keto ice cream?
I digress. If you want easy, delicious and impressive then this is your salad. Enjoy!
