This quick and easy low carb salad makes a great Keto Christmas recipe to enjoy over the holidays. Packed with fats and flavor, this delicious salad is prepared with peppery arugula, tender spinach, dried cranberries, creamy avocado, salty prosciutto, tangy goats cheese and crunchy walnuts, served with a fragrant rosemary and orange dressing. This makes a great lunch for the festive season or Keto Christmas starter. We have used rich and creamy goats cheese for our low carb Christmas salad. If preferred, you can swap this for another soft cheese such as Camembert or even a crumbly blue cheese. These would both pair well with the sweet ingredients in the dish and still be in keeping with the festive flavors! Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. When used sparingly, dried cranberries can be enjoyed as part of a balanced low carb diet. They add little bursts of festive sweetness to the dish, which adds to the overall texture and also complements the savory meat and cheese. If you wish to reduce the carb count, you can use a smaller quantity of cranberries or omit them entirely if preferred.
These delightful Caprese stacks offer a refreshing twist on a classic flavor combination.

Salt and pepper shrimp don’t have to be limited to the wok! Delicious shell-on, succulent shrimp are tossed in a deliciously caramelized pepper and garlic mixture. The fan in the air fryer is the perfect tool to achieve perfectly crispy shells. If you have never eaten shrimp shells before, the trick is to get them crispy to be enjoyable to eat. Shrimp shells are full of calcium and other minerals that are beneficial on a Low Carb Diet. The shrimp are coated in a generous mixture of salt and pepper, too, so this dish would be great served over cauliflower rice. For those people following cyclical Keto, feel free to add rice along with the shrimp. Please use shell-on shrimp that is in the 21 count range. I love the size of this shrimp for their meatiness! The cook times in the recipe will vary if you use smaller shrimp, so keep that in mind if you swap it. Please use kosher salt or flaky sea salt! Since the shrimp shells are best eaten crispy, reheat any leftover shrimp in the air fryer before serving until hot for about 3-5 minutes.

This low carb and Whole30 compliant beef stew is hearty, warm, and absolutely delicious. It is an easy Whole30 recipe that takes just 15 minutes of active cooking and prepping. The crockpot will then take over and do its thing, and you ll end up with a flavorful stew with meat that melts in your mouth. We guarantee you this is a meal that will become a family favorite. This low-carb stew is one of the BEST Whole30 crockpot recipes because it allows you to cook a large batch with no extra effort. You can double the recipe, serve half of it at dinner, then meal prep the rest. Believe it or not, this meal tastes better the next day. Searing the meat builds flavor, retains moisture, and renders some fat. The caramelization on the beef develops the flavors of the dish while cooking. We recommend searing it in a heavy cast-iron pan for even browning and proper fat rendering. You don have to, but it sure makes it a lot easier. This Keto beef and mushroom stew needs 15 minutes of active work, and then you just let the slow cooker do its thing. While cooking, you can run errands, finish some home chores, or create more meals for your weekly meal prep. If you don own a crockpot, you can use an instant pot or cook it in a Dutch oven on low for 2-3 hours. A big part of this stew is its sauce. It carries all the great juices from the meat and mushroom. To thicken it, we recommend adding xanthan gum at the last 15 minutes of cooking. If you don have this ingredient, then you can skip it. The sauce will taste just as good but will be thinner. Whole30 and the Whole30 logo are registered trademarks of Thirty & Co, LLC
