Oh man - if you’ve never had blue cheese and bacon together then you are in for a real treat. It is very delicious, and a combination that makes this salad one of the best I’ve ever had.

A refreshing salad with a hint of tang! This Asian cucumber salad is great for get-togethers, work potlucks, or as a small salad with lunch or dinner.

You could also add in some extra ingredients, like avocado and onions but be careful because that will bring the carb count higher! Yields 1 servings ...

Avocado Egg Salad

Avocado Egg Salad

Half of my family is from the South, so I grew up with egg salad at every family function. Egg salad is great for work lunches, picnics, or even paired with fat head bagels for brunch. I love to put a couple tablespoons on top of some baby spinach or kale. The great thing about egg salad is there’s no one way to make it, either. For this recipe, I used hot sauce to add some spice, but if you want to turn up the heat, you can substitute the hot sauce for jalapeno peppers or scotch ...

Greek Cauliflower Salad

Greek Cauliflower Salad

I always used to have this whenever I went out to Greek restaurants. It is a nice combination of rice, cucumber, olives,  and feta with a side of tzatziki. It tastes amazing! So I tried to keto-fy the recipe using cauliflower rice instead. For this recipe, I used pre-shredded cauliflower. If you can’t find it in stores, you can buy a head of cauliflower and use a knife, food processor, or blender to cut them into rice-sized pieces. This makes a lot of servings. You can always halve the ...
