Simple Radish Salad
This recipe is an incredibly simple salad that requires no cooking at all! The radish slices provide a nice crunch that goes well with the garlic Parmesan dressing! I used an arugula mix for the lettuce, but you can use any kind of lettuce you’d like.

Creamy Shrimp Salad
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.

Keto Taco Salad
Do you love Taco Tuesday, and feel like you can’t partake because of Keto? Well, look no further! You can still have your tacos but without the shells! These are great for all occasions, but we love them for family dinners or entertaining friends.
