One of my favourite ways to get more veggies in my diet is to up my salad game – I mean, we all know salads are a great way to get more fresh veggies, but if I’m honest salads can sure get boring after awhile which is why coming up with new salad ideas is always at the top of my to-do list. This Low Carb Italian Chopped Salad is one of my favourite salads lately and I know you’re going to love it too!
One of the things that makes this Low Carb Italian Chopped Salad so great is the dressing – of course you can use whatever Italian dressing is your favourite, but my Classic Creamy Italian Salad Dressing is so easy to make (in a mason jar, in minutes!) and it’s the perfect addition to this savoury salad!
