Special Notes:
This summer pea salad is very versatile. If you want to use spinach, arugula or kale as your base instead of romaine lettuce you can do that as well. This salad uses low-oxalate vegetables other than the sliced almonds and poppyseeds, but you can replace those with coconut flakes if you are looking to go low oxalate.
We made this recipe a low-protein, plant-based salad but it doesn’t have to be. Feel free to add good quality meat to this recipe if you want to incorporate more protein. Good choices would include organic chicken or turkey or grass-fed beef or lamb.
Dr Jockers Comments
This summer pea salad is a great plant-based keto recipe that is full of life-giving ingredients that help you burn fat and improve your energy levels. You will love the flavors and how it makes you feel!
Avocado and olive oil are 2 of the best foods you can put in your body on a daily basis. They are full of healthy fats and fat soluble nutrients and have been shown to help the body to assimilate more of the unique polyphenols in vegetables when added to salad recipes like this.
Using lemon and apple cider vinegar help to improve the health of the microbiome and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Enjoy this recipe as it is if you are looking to go more plant-based or feel free to add in some high-quality protein if you like!
