I enjoy a good salad, but sometimes I don't feel like having lettuce, spinach, or a spring mix as the base. I like the crunch of lettuce and the taste of spinach, but I wanted to try something new. Brussels sprouts turn out to be the perfect base for this salad. Yes, you can eat Brussels sprouts raw and they taste very good this way! On top of this salad is a delicious pecan and seed medley. The pecans, pumpkin and sunflower seeds are fried in a spicy and tangy chili paste alongside cumin ...

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.

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad
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 ...
