With eggs, bacon, chicken, and avocado, the cobb salad is already keto friendly. I tried pairing it with a traditional red wine vinaigrette and it was out of this world. I also added in a little sugar substitute to the keto salad dressing, to sweeten it up, and it was delightful. This is one of the better salads to have if you are near your carb limit for the day as one serving is only 2.4 net carbs! The entire cobb salad is only 26 carbs in total. It is also perfect for those who need an ...
Keto BLT Salad
May 7, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - three things that are delicious in a sandwich! Today, we are deconstructing it into a salad with a nice mayonnaise-based garlic dressing. It can’t get any better than this. Now, you don’t have to use iceberg lettuce for this recipe. In fact, most BLT’s come with romaine, but using iceberg lettuce gives it a nice crisp and crunch. The dressing can be altered as well - add some hot sauce for a big kick or a tiny bit of powdered sweetener to really bring out the ...

Keto BBQ Salad with Shredded Chicken
May 2, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Wow - I am loving this salad! It has a delicious smoky flavor but it’s not overwhelming and goes great with the tangy sour cream. It’s kind of like an entire BBQ in one bowl stacked with meat, greens, veggies, and cheese! I used G. Hughes Sugar-Free BBQ sauce, which is sweetened with sucralose but you can also use my homemade keto bbq sauce. It’s a great alternative for regular sauce and only has 1 carb per tablespoon. If you can’t find it, there are several varieties offered at Walmart. ...

Arugula and Prosciutto Salad
April 25, 2019 by Leave a Comment
I am loving prosciutto right now! So, I decided to crisp some up for a delicious single-serving salad. I paired it with a maple syrup dressing and sprinkled on some crumbly blue cheese. Digging into it, I couldn’t help but think that nothing could be tastier. For the dressing, I used ‘Can-Natur Sugar-Free Syrup’ which is great because it has zero calories and zero carbs. If you can’t find this syrup, I suggest trying a monk fruit maple syrup, such as Lakanto. This salad is single ...

Creamy Shrimp Salad
April 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment
A quick and easy shrimp salad that’s perfect for warmer weather. The dill adds a refreshing taste and the crunchy texture of the lettuce works well with the mayonnaise dressing. This delicious salad is stuffed with both fat and protein while having just a few carbs per serving. In this salad, I used Boston lettuce (also known as butterhead or bibb), but romaine would work as well! I would avoid lettuce like iceberg, just because it may be too difficult to eat. I also used pre-cooked and ...

Vegetarian Taco Stuffed Avocados
April 2, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Vegetarian tacos often mean substituting ground beef, or chicken, for loads of highly processed vegetarian “meat” items which can also be very expensive. Other alternatives for vegetarians might include heaping scoops of beans or rice which are also not part of the ketogenic way of life. My solution? An old school vegetarian meat substitute that can be seasoned to impersonate multiple different recipes: walnut meat! It may sound strange at first, but raw walnuts have a unique texture that ...

If you find yourself using the same toppings and the same dressings give this combination a try! Dark leafy greens are the hearty base to stand up to piles of prosciutto and a dose of creamy goat cheese. Not a fan of goat cheese? That’s ok! You could swap for a mild cheese, but I encourage you to give goat cheese a try! It adds a ...
