Tip!
Want a different look? Try cherry tomatoes as we did. Or swap the colors... yellow tomatoes with orange or red bell peppers is pretty. Or crumble the feta. Different presentations, but the same deliciousness.

At 15g carbs, you could start with reducing the number of tomatoes or greens.
I generally put a lot of leaves in my salads (lettuce, spinach, arugula etc), but keep in mind that every salad is gonna be high in carbs especially if you love veggies, so I usually eat them only when I know that I had a "low carb day".. so if I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, and then salmon and avocado for lunch
I just change the bell pepper to orange or yellow to have different colours and vitamins ;)
One small tip: after chopping the onions, but the slices on a cold water bath for a few minutes. It decreases the acidity.
Wonderful recipe and a deliciously beautiful photo as well.
