    Low Carb Reuben Chopped Salad

    Ingredients Notes

    Ingredients for Reuben Chopped Salad - romaine, corned beef, sauerkraut, caraway, chives
    • Corned beef: you can't make a Reuben salad without corned beef! While you can get corned beef in store, I also have a sugar free corned beef recipe to keep the carbs low.
    • Sauerkraut: another classic component of a Reuben, sauerkraut adds a salty and sour element with a nice layer of crunch that compliments the roast beef and Swiss cheese. (Check out this Creamy Reuben Soup recipe)
    • Caraway seeds: since this is a Reuben salad and not a sandwich, caraway adds the flavor of rye bread without the gluten or carbs.
    • Swiss cheese: while you could use another cheese, nothing is more classic than Swiss cheese. It adds a nice creamy element with a bit of a nutty flavor.

    Step by Step Instructions

    How to make Reuben Chopped Salad

    STEP 1: Divide chopped romaine evenly between four bowls.

    STEP 2: In a large bowl, add corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. Mix to combine.

    STEP 3: Divide mixture among the four plates of lettuce.

    STEP 4: Sprinkle caraway seeds and chives over top of each plate.
    Serve with Russian dressing.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage: store leftovers, undressed, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Serving suggestion: Double down on the Reuben flavors and serve with Reuben Stuffed Mushrooms or Creamy Reuben Soup. This recipe also pairs well with Portobello Cordon Bleu with Dijon Cream Sauce.
    • Up the protein: Add a bit more protein and serve with grilled chicken, or even pile shredded pork on top.
    • Make it a Rachel: swap the corned beef for turkey or pastrami, and switch out the sauerkraut for coleslaw. This is what's done in a Rachel sandwich, a different take on the classic Reuben, and it works great in this chopped salad!
    • Mix up the greens: I used romaine for this recipe, but this is also amazing on a bed of fresh mixed greens. (Get more low carb salad recipes here)
    • Add croutons: If you aren't concerned with keeping this salad low carb, add these Garlic Parmesan Croutons

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Reuben sandwich made of?

    A classic Reuben is made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye bread. This is a Reuben Chopped Salad, so it takes the elements of Reuben and remixes them into a salad.

    What's the difference between a Reuben and a Rachel?

    While a Reuben is made with corned beef and sauerkraut, a Rachel is made with turkey or pastrami and coleslaw. You can remix this chopped salad in the same way.

      I absolutely love this ! The only change I made was using pastrami instead of corned beef (personal preference) , and I used cabbage instead of lettuce because it holds up longer in the fridge. Thank you for sharing this !

      This was such a fantastic idea! I had been craving a reuben sandwich and this really didn't feel like a compromise. I heated the corned beef and swiss in the toaster oven to make it melty, and I topped with everything but the bagel seasoning. Used my own Russian dressing recipe (tomato paste & ACV instead of ketchup and a heaping spoonful of horseradish). Definitely hit the spot - thanks!

      Can’t rate your recipe yet but I also can’t wait to try it! St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and I know exactly what I’m going to do with the leftover corned beef. Oh dang, I’m drooling now!
