Prosciutto Manchego Grilled Salad

Prosciutto Manchego Grilled Salad

December 22, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Warm salads are always a great way to spice up regular salads. The lettuce in this recipe is grilled to a perfect char on the grill. It is then chopped up into bite sized pieces and topped with an Italian favorite, prosciutto. As these ingredients are different from your average salad, I knew a light dressing was needed to make sure to this dish is tied together wonderfully. Olive oil, lemon juice, and mayonnaise were my simple ingredients for the dressing, which cuts perfectly through ...

Keto BBQ Salad with Shredded Chicken

Keto BBQ Salad with Shredded Chicken

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. ...

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

August 31, 2017 by 3 Comments

I’ve always have a love affair with fresh mozzarella, but as we all know even on a ketogenic diet no food is truly “unlimited.” A traditional caprese salad used to be my go-to at any potluck because the vibrant mix of fresh basil and creamy mozzarella was better than any of those other lettuce based salads…until now! The beauty of this, warm twist on a classic, is that it is much more filling but with all of the traditional flavor. Because the salad base is fiber packed spinach, it ...

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. There’s some minor food prep involved, but the most intensive part is disassembling the avocado [there’s some magic to that I haven’t mastered yet]. You can substitute the cheese for a Mexican blend or Pepper Jack, in addition to using jalapenos ...

No lettuce in this salad! Just zucchini, crispy bacon, feta, and shiny red cherry tomatoes. Topped with some balsamic vinegar, this inviting dish is a great side salad for any meal. Zucchini ribbons are incredibly easy to make. All you need is a cheese slicer, or a vegetable peeler, and some zucchini. Slice it lengthwise and the zucchini will form long noodles. The shape isn’t necessary for creating this dish. You could just slice the zucchini into thin circles or cut into chunks ...

My idea of a perfect weekend is sleeping in, eating brunch with an excellent cup of coffee, and exploring my local farmer’s market. Eggs Benedict is a hearty brunch staple that will give you the energy to cross all the items off your to-do list. I like to pair it with a chicory coffee or breakfast tea. The best part is the recipe can be tailored for keto and non-keto folks alike! Prep time will require a little effort, but you can easily replace the egg yolk with packaged yolk from the ...
