This keto cucumber and walnut salad have it all. From the nutty crunch to the lemon-and-yogurt zest, this salad is sure to go down well for either lunch or a light dinner.
In this recipe, we’ve combined nutrient-rich vegetables and fruits like olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes with protein-packed feta cheese and Greek yogurt to ensure you get a good serving of both. Walnuts also ensure that you get a good dose of polyunsaturated fats.
This salad is not only full of goodness but also easy to prepare. The only part of this recipe that requires a lot of effort is toasting the walnuts. This can be done in a frying pan or oven and only takes a few minutes. All you have to do is chop the sauce, chop the vegetables and then add all the ingredients in a bowl together.
