Ingredients

Salad Base

Instructions

  • Drain the canned mackerel and flake it into chunks with a fork.
    2 cans canned mackerel
  • Wash all the vegetables and spin them in a salad spinner to remove excess water.
    2 cups arugula lettuce, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, dill and onion.
    1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/3 cup olives, 3 tablespoons red onion, 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mackerel, rocket, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, onion, and fresh dill.
  • In a blender or food processor blitz the keto Ranch dressing ingredients, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
    1/2 recipe Keto Ranch Dressing, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until well combined.
  • Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Great as a meal prep option, just keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
  • Swap arugula for gem lettuce or baby spinach.
  • You can use any keto-friendly ranch dressing or try my homemade Keto Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing.
