Keto Ultimate Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette Dressing

⭐ 4.5/5 (10) 🔥 220 cal

This is a delightful low-carb, Keto, and Paleo Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette, offering a bright and tart flavor profile thanks to fresh lemon juice. Seasoned with kosher salt and grated garlic, it's perfect over salads, steamed flounder, or sauteed green beans. It also serves as a flavorful veggie dip. For best results, grate the garlic finely to ensure a smooth, homogenous flavor. Feel free to experiment with substitutions like lime juice or various vinegars. Apple cider vinegar can be swapped for red wine, white wine, or champagne vinegar to accentuate the main acid. Black pepper is optional but adds a tasty kick, especially for steak salads. Customize with fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary, or dried herbs de Provence. For an Asian twist, use lime juice and a teaspoon of sesame seed oil. Adapt this recipe to suit your preferences. A recommended pairing is with a Keto garden-fresh steak salad (omit the original dressing and use this vinaigrette).

Low Carb Christmas Slaw

⭐ 4.5/5 (2314) 🔥 275 cal

This quick and easy low carb slaw makes a great Keto Christmas side to accompany your favorite festive mains. Our Keto slaw combines low carb veggies with crunchy walnuts, sweet cranberries, and a simple orange and olive oil dressing. This egg and dairy-free slaw is quick to prepare and can be made ahead, making it a low fuss Keto Christmas recipe! We have added walnuts to our Keto Christmas slaw for added texture and crunch. If you follow a nut-free diet, these can simply be omitted. You could also optionally replace them with low carb seeds if tolerated or diced radish for texture. Please be sure to adjust your macros accordingly for any changes made to the recipe. We have used raw Brussels sprouts in our low carb slaw. To make sure the sprouts are tender, they need to be very thinly sliced. It is also crucial to coat the sprouts completely in the slaw dressing and allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes in the oil and orange juice. This will soften the sprouts and tenderize the vegetables.

Mashed cauliflower can take on many different flavors and combinations. This combo creates a tangy, cheesy, and slightly spicy side dish that can complement a variety of Carb Manager main courses. Start with a buttery mashed cauliflower base, simply spiced with salt and pepper. Add in cream cheese for a cooling and tangy effect. A whole, fresh jalapeno is folded into the mash for a tasty and manageable level of spice. Loads of pepper jack cheese is melted inside to bind the ingredients together and add an extra level of heat. Store this recipe in your refrigerator for up to 7 days and easily reheat a serving in your microwave with lunch or dinner. You can even enjoy this Keto, high-fat side dish as a snack before a workout! Jessica L. This super cheesy and slightly spicy mashed cauliflower dish can pair well with a lot of Carb Manager recipes. It’s already included in the main course: Bacon Wrapped Ranch Chicken. Simply search the recipe title in the Carb Manager recipe log to find it. You can really enjoy this mashed cauliflower recipe with almost any Keto fried meal. Pairing fried chicken, steak, or pork with a spicy and cheesy side dish completes a nostalgic, comfort-food-feel to your meal. Trying to keep warm during colder seasons? Make any of Carb Manager’s delicious Keto chilis to serve next to your mashed cauliflower, or ladle it right on top! Chopped parsley or a dollop of full-fat sour cream would make excellent Keto garnishes as well. Do you like spicy food, but you find this dish too spicy? You can swap out the pepper jack cheese for a white cheddar cheese without changing the nutritional value of your serving. If it’s the jalapeno that is too spicy, keep the pepper jack cheese and omit the jalapeno. You can try mixing in crushed red pepper flakes or hot paprika if you want heat without the burn of a fresh pepper. If you enjoy this side dish as is, but want to keep things interesting, try adding in bacon bits, chopped green onion, or a second type of cheese at your discretion. You can also substitute the cream cheese for sour cream or greek yogurt if you want to increase the tangy flavor of the dish.
