Green Keto Crab Salad (low-carb, keto, paleo)

This crab asparagus and avocado salad came out of my creation of the delicious Keto Green Goddess Dressing. The two pair so well together.

This crab salad is such a tasty Keto dinner recipe that can be whipped up in minutes and is perfect for summer when you want something fresh and light.

High in healthy fats and just 4 g net carbs per serving it’s perfect for those of you who prefer really low carb meals.

Shellfish like crab is one of the most nutritionally dense ketogenic foods you can eat. Feel free to use a mixture of brown and white crab meat or all white. The brown is super tasty though in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.

Step-by-step

  1. Make the dressing. Blitz the herbs, anchovies, lemon, mayonnaise and garlic in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl. Stir through the yoghurt or sour cream. Season to taste. Place in the fridge to thicken and chill for 10 minutes. Best when served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for 3 days.

  2. Place the asparagus in a steamer and cook for 2 minutes until al dente. Cut at an angle into 3 cm/ 1.2 oz lengths. Slice the avocado.

  3. Place the rocket or watercress in a bow with the avocado and asparagus. Toss with 1 tbsp of green goddess dressing and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix the crabmeat with the remaining 1 tbsp of green goddess dressing.
