Romaine and Mushroom Salad Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe
PrintRomaine and Mushroom Salad Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe
Including a salad with your meal packs in much needed nutrients without relying on empty calories. I would much rather eat a fresh and filling side dish like this Romaine and Mushroom Salad with Lemony French Dressing than something heavy like potatoes or pasta. A nice salad makes the meal seem lighter which keeps the after dinner bloat at bay!

Low-Carb salads are kind of a no-brainer–as long as you use a good low carb salad dressing. Keep your ingredients to leafy green veggies, non-starchy veggies, meats (especially bacon!), avocados, eggs, etc.
A good Low-Carb salad dressing will have NO ADDED SUGAR. This is key because most salad bars and restaurants kill the quality of their salads with lousy sugary dressings.
