The great thing about salad is that it can be served before the entrée or as a side dish. Personally, I prefer it as a side dish especially when it’s got lots of yummy components. This Low-Carb Gluten-Free Simple Romaine Salad is just such a dish. It’s got lots of crunch so it adds a great deal of texture to your meal. The best part is that there endless variations for toppings.
