Roasting up a pumpkin at the start of the week can deliver delicious meals all week. In the past few days, I have made Keto Thai Pumpkin Soup and a new recipe, Keto Roast Pumpkin and Feta Tart.  

With the last of the roast pumpkin I made a few days ago, I put together this simple yet hearty keto salad to pair alongside my latest recipe, Greek Keto Chicken Kebabs.

You might be wondering, is pumpkin Keto?

Well, you can eat Pumpkin on Keto, as long as your portion size isn’t huge.

Using pumpkin in a salad like this and pairing with a main dish of protein and fats, it helps balance it out.

Pumpkin is also high in fiber which helps reduce the net carbs down and makes it more manageable on a Keto diet.

I eat pumpkin about once a fortnight in my keto diet – either in a salad like this or a bit on the side of a sunday roast dinner to keep pumpkin in my Keto diet.

One cup of cooked pumpkin has about 9 grams net carbs, but really you’d be having around 1/4 – 1/3 of cooked pumpkin per serve so you see it’s very manageable to include pumpkin in a keto diet.
