- Cauliflower rice is excellent low-carb alternative to ordinary rice. It complements the depth of taste in your salad and is low in carbohydrates.
- Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, and even roasted Brussels sprouts make excellent keto-friendly accompaniments to this salad.
- The bread base for keto-friendly garlic bread may be made using coconut flour or almond flour. Add fresh herbs and garlic butter over top for the ideal accompaniment to your salsa or sour cream.
- A side of olives or some hot pickled jalapeños should be added. Both are keto-friendly, have delicious tastes, and give the dish a little kick.
