I make a big salad some days to eat with a steak and I have no trouble getting quite a few carbs in it....for instance...

1 cup of lettuce....1 carb
4 oz. tomato........5 carb
4 oz. cucumbers...2 carb
2 oz. onion..........4 carb
4 oz. peppers.......6 carb


Theres 18 carbs before subtracting for fiber and its just one good sized salad...I use a food scale to be as accurate as possible.
