Low Carb Keto Spring Roll Salad with Peanut Dressing
This beautiful salad has all the ingredients you’d find in fresh spring rolls and it’s topped with the most luscious sugar-free sweet peanut dressing you’ve ever had! Just 5 g net carbs per serving!
Fresh Deconstructed Spring Roll Salad
When it comes to scrumptious salads, I love them all! I enjoy salads all year through no matter the weather or season. But let’s face it, sometimes salads can get boring and uninteresting and certainly less exciting that a hot meal.
Changing up the ordinary salad to include some fresh vegetables and ingredients that are often found in keto spring rolls, is what I’m bringing you today.
This spring roll recipe makes for a perfect salad to bring to a cook out or a new favorite easy lunch with all your friends who will be asking for this easy recipe.
But it’s the creamy sweet, sugar-free homemade peanut sauce that takes this deconstructed spring roll salad to the next level!
Carbs in Fresh Spring Rolls
Whether it’s Chinese spring rolls or fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, they both need rice paper wrappers made from rice flour to stuff the ground meat and vegetable filling ingredients.
The fresh spring roll wrappers are not fried, but still contain a high amount of carbs for a keto diet.
According to Cronometer fresh spring rolls with just vegetables and no protein have about 10 g carbs per roll.
Our low-carb spring roll salad has 7 total grams of carbs for a very large serving that includes 15 grams of protein.
Low-Carb Spring Rolls
Since I haven’t yet figured out how to make a homemade egg roll wrapper keto friendly, I bring you this deconstructed spring roll salad as my fresh version of a spring roll without the rice paper skins!
Honestly more than anything, a dressing can make or break a great salad.
Today’s dressing is anything but ordinary and something to enjoy not only on this salad, but as a dipping sauce with fresh veggies, keto vegetables like sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, celery or even to marinade lean protein like chicken on the grill!
Drizzle over the top or mix it all entirely in the whole thing, almost like you would a coleslaw. You can see how I did that in my video below.

Can I replace the peanut butter?
Yes, if you have a peanut allergy feel free to replace it with almond butter, or even sunflower seed butter.
Can I replace the coconut aminos?
Coconut aminos is a healthy soy free, gluten free alternative to soy sauce. But you could replace it if you need to.
Can I use sesame oil instead?
You can use sesame oil instead of olive oil or avocado oil.
Can I swap the chicken?
The best thing about this salad is that you can add any cooked protein you like. Make it a shrimp spring roll bowl with easy cooked shrimp or another great option is to use up leftover cooked ground pork or ground beef.
Just note that the nutritional information below includes using cooked chicken breast so if you change out the protein just adjust for that.

oh my gosh was this good i replaced the chicken with drained tuna and a little bit of cooked shrimp thats what i had and needed to be used. the dressing was out out of this world
Love to hear that, thank you so much!
Sweet Leaf Stevia user here! This salad is calling my name! Everything about it sounds deeeelicious! I just have question, which brand of unsweetened peanut butter do you use? Thank you in advance!
The 365 brand I believe it’s from Whole Foods.
Loved your cole slaw recipe .
It helped me stay on my no-sugar eating .
Did I miss the “print” icon in that recipe?
Could you substitute a nut butter instead of peanut butter?
Sure!
All the goodness of aspring roll in salad form? Perfect! Looks so delicious and like so much less work than assembling all the little rolls.
Exactly! I’m for quick in the summer!
This looks seriously fantastic. I love spring rolls and peanut dipping sauce, so I think I could eat this all day!
That sauce makes everything better!
The Peanut Dressing Nutrition Facts states 4.1g sugar ! What can I use to make it actually Sugar Free?
No that info is per serving for the entire salad plus the dressing mixed in. The dressing alone isn’t where natural sugar is, it’s in the veggies used. I used unsweetened peanut butter, but there is natural sugars in all veggies used.
Looks delish, but with 83g of carbs I don’t think it qualifies as “low carb” Is there a misprint?
That’s a misprint, I will let them know.
Should be 8.3
Yum! Trying to eat more greens, love the dressing!
Sweetleaf fan right here! That salad looks and sounds mouthwatering, love the sweet peanut dressing!
Such a great idea to make deconstructed spring rolls into a salad!! YUM… and that dressing sounds divine. <3
I must try this dressing it sounds awesome.
I am not finding the link below the video. I even went to Sweetleaf.com and can’t find the recipe for the
Low Carb Spring Roll Salad with Sweet Peanut Dressing
I would love to have the quantities/proportion for the dressing.
I appreciate the work you do very much. But I’d be so grateful for the recipe.
Hope I am not missing it somewhere as I am scouring your site.
Thanks,

Maybe you didn’t wait for the page to completely load, but it’s in pretty big print under the video:RECIPE FOR SPRING ROLL SALAD WITH SWEET PEANUT DRESSING! Here’s the link: http://sweetleaf.com/spring-roll-salad-with-sweet-sugar-free-peanut-dressing/
Actually, no the link isn’t under the video for me either….I have had the same problem here more than once & I am pretty computer & internet savvy (at least that’s what my IT guy tells me)…so I wait until you give it, or sometimes I can find it myself, but not always.
I couldn’t see it either. Weird. Thanks!
The link is no good, it brings up an error page!

I didn’t notice it either. It’s because the recipe should be just posted under there, since we’re already on the recipe page. It just looks like a headline and isn’t noticeable as a link. It’s another click on the page to another page.
