Classic Keto Wedge Salad
So simple, yet so delicious!
The wedge salad is a favorite of mine, but oftentimes it can pack on the carbs when croutons are added or if the dressing has hidden sugar.
We’re taking this salad back to the basics today to show you just how easy it can be to make a delicious, nutritious, and refreshing keto wedge salad topped with only the best add-ons. This makes such a yummy and filling lunch or weeknight dinner idea.
Hip Recipe Tips:
-
- I used our keto ranch dressing since I love its cool, creamy richness, but you can use any keto-friendly dressings you like best. Oftentimes this salad is served with blue cheese dressing, which is also a great keto option. Check out some of our favorite keto store-bought dressings here.

Keep things low carb with a thick wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with veggies, cheese, bacon, and creamy dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles
- 8 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- keto-friendly ranch dressing (I used 3 tablespoons per wedge)
- pinch of pepper (optional)
Directions
1
Cut the head of iceberg lettuce into 4 equal wedges and place 1 salad wedge in a bowl or on a plate.
2
Drizzle dressing over salad. I use about 3 tablespoons per wedge as I like a good dosage of dressing, but you can use as much or as little as you would like.
3
Add bacon crumbles, red onion slices, bleu cheese crumbles, and tomatoes over the top of your salad.
4
Serve and enjoy!

Meal Prep Idea: Cut all components and assemble your salads in sealed food storage containers without the dressing to have lunches or dinners prepared for the next day!
