Kristie's tips

Use grape tomatoes rather than chopped tomatoes in this recipe so that the dish stays fresher longer and so that those who don’t enjoy tomatoes can easily avoid them.

You can also wait to add the lettuce until just before serving so that it stays crisp.

If you want to lower the carb count, you can skip the tomatoes altogether, but don’t skip the cucumber, peppers, or red onions. Along with the sauce, those ingredients give the bowl just the right punch of flavor and texture.

    How many total carbs?

    You can click the Nutrition + tab underneath the recipe. This shows net carbs 3 and fiber 1, so this is 4g total carbs.

    If following the recipe exactly, what is the serving amount? (I.E. 1/2 cup, 2 cups?)

    If following the recipe exactly, what is the serving amount? (I.E. 1/2 cup, 2 cups?)

    That is going to vary based on the total volume of your ingredients, which can vary from kitchen to kitchen. The recipe as written makes 8 servings.

    Actually, if a serving size (approx) is ALWAYS given for ALL recipes, that would be ever so helpful, & thank you. :)

    I thought you subtract the fiber not add to carbs....

    Great cold Summer dish! My husband is from Philly and loved it. In his words ... "tastes just like a hoagy".

    I always make a double batch, because my non keto family will eat the whole bowl. One of our favorites, we always make it for camping as well.

    This is a fabulous recipe. I make a big batch for quick lunches or suppers through the week. It's also adjustable. I use italian seasoned grilled chicken breast. Pepperoncini pepper in place of banana peppers, and add things like black olives, bell pepper and green onion. Seriously, sky is the limit on this recipe. I have also used this recipe as a base to a Tex-Mex salad by swapping out the pepperoncini for pickled jalapenos, mexican seasonings on the grilled chicken breast, and homemade creamy cilantro dressing in place of the original dressing. I serve the cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce on the side. I make extra dressing to serve on the side as well.
    This is also a great recipe for travel and camping.

    Sounds great! Love the tex-mex idea!

    I’ve made this yummylicious salad on more than one occasion and it is a slam dunk! I love other’s comments about adding or taking away things to make it suit their palate. I love it just the way it is! Thank you so much for this keto friendly version of a hoagie!
