Keto Guacamole Egg BombsKeto Guacamole Egg Bombs. I have made these pretty little gems many times with bacon but never this way. We had non-pork eating friends for dinner the other night so I left out the bacon and topped them with green onions and tomato and they really do taste like little Guacamole Egg Bombs…so here they are…for your vegetarian friends. Keto Guacamole Egg Bombs make a nice little dinner starter.

This is one of a trio of recipes for a terrific low carb picnic winter/summer indoors or out.  The other two companion recipes are Southern Deep Fried Chicken & Macaroni Salad. Now you can have a complete guilt-free meal with a measly 10g net carbs. Not to shabby for a totally fill yourself up meal.

Low Carb Cobb Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb Salad. I found this somewhere on the internet-a way to remember the components of Cobb Salad. Use the mnemonic EAT COBB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Bleu Cheese. Low carb Cobb salad is a very simple and elegant salad to serve as a lunch or a main dinner entrée. I served this in the restaurant to rave reviews.

There are a lot of arrangements so just pick your favorite. The ideal is to have a different flavor or combination of flavors with each bite of salad.  I served mine with Caesar Dressing (traditional) and you can serve it with your own favorite.  If you are inclined to Caesar then my recipe is here: Caesar Salad Dressing and Briannas Asiago Caesar Salad Dressing makes what I call the best prepared Caesar dressing. As you can see from the second picture it can also be served with steak. My leftover steak was about 3 oz. of rare ribeye.

I have eaten many a low carb cobb salad in my day and I have traveled many times between Portland & Seattle.  There is a little joint off the I-5 in the middle of nowhere called Spiffy’s that has the best Cobb Salad (besides my own) that I have ever had so…if you are every up this way, stop in and try one…with their Caesar dressing- and it is the one I served in my restaurant.

Cobb Salad

Ingredients
  1. 1 Diced Hard Boiled Egg
  2. ½ Large Chunked Avocado
  3. ½ C Hand Pulled Chicken (2-3 Oz)
  4. ¼ C Chopped Tomato
  5. ¼ C Slivered Purple Onion
  6. ¼ C Chopped Cooked Bacon
  7. ¼ C Good Quality Crumbled Blue Cheese
  8. 2 C Lettuce
Instructions
  1. “IF” you have nice large oval plates this would be the time to use them.
  2. Pile as much lettuce as you can get on the plate-at least 2 C and more it wanted..
  3. Arrange your ingredients artfully around the edge of the salad then drizzle dressing all over everything. For company, a nice garnish might be a couple of cheese crisps tucked in at both ends along with a couple wedges of lemon.
  4. 1 Serving

Notes
  1. Since I cannot know or account for the salad dressing you will be using the nutritionals are for the ingredients listed.
  2. You may certainly use any lettuce you like but my favorite for this is Spring Mix with a little Romaine mixed in for crunch.
  3. Additional lowcarb ingredients to your Cobb Salad might be black olives, bay shrimp, ham, mung bean sprouts, shredded cheddar cheese, and even strawberries. I have given the traditional recipe but this is going to be YOUR salad so add whatever YOU want.
  4. This salad is not so much about the lettuce but about the other tastes and ingredients.

Keto Smoked Ham Salad

2 Replies

Keto Smoked Ham SaladLow Carb Smoked Ham SaladKeto Smoked Ham Salad. I guarantee you will never eat another commercial Ham Salad after this and is this easy or what? The three secrets to this recipe are good quality ham, the liquid smoke and the Sugar Free Mt. Olive Sweet Relish. I have had others SF relishes and for whatever reason they don’t begin to compare to Mt Olive. It is available at www.netrition.com

This is good served on a thick slab of tomato with melted smoked cheddar cheese over it or if you make Carbalose Flour Bread it makes a terrific quick sandwich for lunch and even good served by the tablespoon on Sour Cream & Chive Crackers or Hazelnut Parmesan Crackers for a little “quickie something” before dinner.  As you can see even I know ham is a natural with cheese so I put it on a large cheese crisp. Keto smoked ham salad-you won’t be sorry.

Make sure when you taste test it you stop at the test-it’s very easy to just stand at the kitchen counter and chow down and I’m not kidding you, I have done it many times.

I don’t know about you but I am not interested in buying water or whatever else they inject into ham and chickens these days.

Keto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed Dressing. Gads, I tried and tried to make this keto poppy seed dressing with the original oil version but because I wasn’t using sugar I could not keep everything in suspension.  It tasted just like the original but it kept separating and you would have to shake it.  I have to say though, that this keto creamy poppy seed dressing version of the famous poppy seed dressing is pretty tasty stuff and nearly identical to it’s original sister. The salad shown is with strawberries, bacon and tomato.

ZeroCarb Pickled Red Onions

2 Replies

ZeroCarb Pickled Red OnionsZeroCarb Pickled Red OnionsZeroCarb Pickled Red Onions. These lowcarb zerocarb pickled red onions so easy as to be ridiculous. If you can boil water and you have a mandoline slicer you can make pickled red onions in about the time it takes to boil the water.  If you’re in a big hurry you can let them sit on the counter for an hour or so but when left in the fridge for as little as a day they will give your foods all the flavors you could ever need.  Restaurants use very small amounts of pickled red onions on hundreds of dishes. On hamburgers? Yep. On Chicken Liver Pate?  Oh for heaven sakes, yes.  They are good thrown into many Salads, on Tacos, in Vegetables, and really about anything else you might imagine.  Be sure to use the juices too as they can be incorporated into a salad dressing for a really tasty and unexpected zing.

Pickled Red Onions
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Large or 2 Smaller Red Onions
  2. ½ C Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs)
  3. ¾ C Boiling Water
  4. 3 T Allulose***
  5. 10 Peppercorns
  6. 8 Cloves
  7. 1 t Salt
Instructions
  1. Slice onion thinly 1/16th” (I use a mandoline which I feel is an absolutely must have tool).
  2. Bring water to boil.
  3. Stuff onions and all rest of ingredients into 2-3 cup container.
  4. Add boiling water, cap and leave on countertop for several hours.
  5. Refrigerate.
  6. No nutritional panel since you will probably only be using 5-6 threads of this at a time. It's a free food.
Notes
  1. The picture of the mandoline above is a Norpro. This company makes good quality products that don't cost an arm and a leg.
  2. Don't worry if liquids don't cover everything to begin with. As the onions soften they will shrink and melt into the juices.

Keto Caesar Salad

2 Replies

Keto Caesar SaladKeto Caesar SaladKeto Caesar SaladKeto Caesar Salad. I once waited tables in a fancy-dancy restaurant in Denver where we cooked fancy-dancy foods tableside and Caesar Salad was one of them. The maitre d’ would come to the table with his well stocked cart and we as the wait-staff had to just stand there twiddling our thumbs until he was finished, and then serve the salads. Well…it didn’t take me long to decide it might be a good way to up my tips (it did) if I did my own salads table-side…and it also didn’t take long for the other wait-staff to ask me to do their table-side cooking for them too. So in many of my years in the restaurant biz I have made my share of keto Caesar salad. Table-side or otherwise.

This is only my rendition and there are many. It is a bit easier than table-side as I now make it in my small Cuisinart.  It is said that Shrimp/Crab Louis/Dressing is the “king” of salads and I say Caesar Salad stands right next to it.

I don’t always advocate chopping lettuce with a knife because it causes the lettuce to “rust” quickly (it is better torn) but in this case it will be used relatively quickly so for convenience I do use a knife.

Lastly, yes, I do use a raw egg. Since you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and I have been eating raw eggs all my 70+ year old life, I am not about to change. Anyway, somewhere along the line “they” and I have never figured out who “they” are, but in this case probably some bureaucratic idiot(s) who decided all eggs should be pasteurized. So what’s the fear now? But hey, if it still makes you squeamish-use mayo and yuck.

Instructions
  1. DRESSING
  2. Put first 6 ingredients in processor, slowly add oil and then add the Parmesan cheese, it will thicken a bit.
  3. SALAD GREENS
  4. Cut off tips of head (if badly wilted). Holding the bottom of the head score the leaves several times, turn 90 degrees and cut to desires piece sizes-optimally about 1½”. Put into sink of cold water and swish it around. Drain the sink, shake off water, put is a bowl, cover with film, and put in the fridge for at least an hour. Any excess water will settle at the bottom. This will be the second crispiest lettuce ever (iceberg always wins) and no, you do not need ice. That crispy iceberg & romaine you get in a restaurant? Well, that’s how they do it-by the tubful. And waste-not want-not, I use the whole head.

Low Carb Caramelized Walnuts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Caramelized Walnuts.  I don’t have the foggiest idea where I read it but somewhere I read that Swerve will caramelize.  That sounded sort of interesting so I think I ordered a one lb. package of it from Netrition because I had been wanting to try it anyway.  Well…it does caramelize and this recipe is the result but…and in light of new information regarding Oligosaccharides, I Do Not Believe this recipe is as low carb as indicated and neither should you.

As I am a Type II diabetic, and in light of new information regarding Oligosaccharides, I Do Not believe this recipe for low carb caramelized walnuts is low carb and neither should you.

Caramelized Walnuts
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 C Walnuts Large Chop
  2. ¼ C Swerve
Instructions
  1. Put ingredients in non-stick pan on medium. When Swerve begins to melt start stirring gently and constantly. This may take 4-5 minutes but do not leave it alone or it will burn. When nuts are toasty light brown pour onto a silpat or a piece of parchment paper and leave it alone to cool a bit. When you can handle them, gently break apart. (They may be sticky at this point) Let cool completely. They will not be sticky anymore-they will be light and crackly and very similar to the Cracker Jacks I ate and loved as a child.
  2. Serves: 8
  3. Serving Size: 2 T
  4. 196 Calories 2g Carbs, 1g Fiber, 1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. The most amazing thing! When the nuts are completely cooled they are shiny, shiny, shiny, just like any other candied nut.
  2. These are really nifty.
  3. More is definitely NOT better. Do not over cook or over brown and do not add more Swerve thinking they will be sweeter. The Swerve does not soak into the nuts-it will only coat them.

Coleslaw & Dressing
Print
Ingredients
  1. ½ C Mayo
  2. ½ C Sour Cream
  3. 1½ T White Vinegar
  4. 1½ T Lemon Juice
  5. 1 T Grated Onion
  6. 2 t Celery Seed
  7. 1 t Dry Mustard
  8. ½ t Paprika
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
  11. 5 Drops EZ-Sweetz Liquid Splenda***
  12. 1 Medium To Large Head Cabbage Finely Shredded
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients except shredded cabbage and check for taste. If you like it sweeter, add more Splenda, 1 drop at a time.
  2. Add in cabbage and toss to coat. I use a mandoline which makes your slaw slices fine and evenly cut.
  3. This slaw will not ‘weep’ much liquid because there is very little salt and no sugar in it.
  4. Serves 8
  5. 250 Calories, 2.5g Protein, 23.3g Fat, 7.5g Carbs, 3.0g Fiber, 4.5g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. If you have a little dressing left over, it saves quite well in the refrigerator or...it makes a really good salad dressing and pairs well with avocados and tomatoes.
  2. A little tip here: To get the finest cutting, it’s best to start shredding at the top of the cabbage and work down to the core, then take out the core and then finish shredding. Don’t worry about taking the outer cabbage leaves off if they are still a bright green as they add great color. You’re going to end up with a lot of shredded cabbage but as the dressing is mixed into it, it will “shrink”.
  3. I love the piquancy of the mustard-grated onion-sweetness combination and if you don’t, then by all means adjust accordingly.
  4. I eat at least 4-5 helpings of this a week and have it in the refrigerator almost all the time during the summer.
  5. Notice I do not use slaw mix. Slaw mix has carrots in it and for anyone watching their carbs, carrots are little sugar bombs so I steer clear of them.
