hi Sasha,
I'm not Karen ... but since she's away for a few weeks, hope you don't mind if I offer my 2¢.
Yes, you are right. You may choose whatever combination of low-carb, high-fiber veggies (from the allowed foods list) will net you 20g carbs ... be sure to include the incidental carbs in things like cheese, eggs, coffee (if you drink it), cream and artificial sweetener though.
The recommendation for 2 cups salad + 1 cup cooked veg. is just a guideline. And do remember that "salad" isn't just lettuce .. if you look at the list of suggested veg. it includes mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, raw spinach, cucumbers etc etc.
hth,
Doreen
