When following the restrictive rules of the Keto diet, finding some delicious low-carb side dishes to serve for dinner can get overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be so daunting!

Offering you 41 best keto side dishes, this post will show you that you don’t need carbs for a filling and satisfying dinner.

What Side Dishes Are Keto-Friendly?

Any side dish that contains low-carb ingredients can be considered a decent Ketogenic option to serve alongside your main dish.

If it is high in fat and moderate in protein, that’s yet another plus, as those are practically the guidelines for this diet.

Low-carb salads, mashed cauliflower, sauteed mushrooms, or dishes with asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, or green beans, are just some nice options.

You can also enhance the flavor with some creamy mayo, sour cream, heavy cream, cheese, bacon, or butter, as they are all Keto-friendly.

Keto Sides for Burgers

The best thing about the Keto diet is that you can allow yourself a juicy burger. If you’re looking for a perfect side dish for your hamburger dinner nights, here are some great options to try.

1. Keto Chicken Salad

If you think that your beef burger cannot possibly go with a chicken salad, let this healthy recipe prove to you just how wrong you are.

Served in a lettuce cup, this light and creamy chicken and egg salad will brighten your fatty burger in the most delicious way possible.

The lemon and dill add fresh and zesty notes to the mix so that your high-fat entrée can be beautifully balanced. The creamy yogurt surely helps, too.

Whether you choose to roast your chicken or even use leftover shreds, I guarantee that this salad will be a real hit alongside your fast-food favorite.

Are Pickles Keto?

Pickles can be the perfect snack or add-in to your Keto meals, as they are low in carbs and will not disrupt your ketosis.

However, keep in mind that some pickle brands have added sugar, so always make sure to read the label before purchasing.

As in other keto-friendly food, be moderate with pickles, as well. While they are low-carb, excessive amounts can still push you over your carb limit.

Is There a Keto-Friendly Rice?

The most popular Keto rice swap has to be the cauliflower version. Cauliflower is processed into tiny rice-sized bits, and then steamed or fried, and consumed just like its carb-loaded lookalike.

But it is not the only keto rice option!

Another popular substitute is konjac rice. Made with only 3% Konjac plant fiber and containing a whopping 97% water, konjac rice is another healthy rice alternative and a Japanese staple.

Can You Have Hummus on Keto?

Hummus is not really keto-friendly, as it is made with chickpeas, which are high in carbohydrates.

Although a couple of tablespoons would provide about 5 grams of net carbs and won’t hurt, consuming traditional hummus when following a Ketogenic diet is not recommended.

For a keto version, try making your own hummus without legumes but with cauliflower, tahini, and your favorite spices, instead.
