Do you have trouble keeping your keto lunch salad fresh?
I love, love, love jar salads. You can prepare a whole bunch of keto salads once a week and they will stay fresh in the fridge.. it’s all about how you layer the ingredients. Here’s one of my favourites, a delicious spiced carrot salad. You can add any protein you like but I think lamb goes well with this one.
Ingredients:
- Protein of your choice
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp dried cranberries/currants
- 1/2 chilli, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 tsp sumac
- 1/3 cup almonds, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tbsp good oil
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp grated ginger
Order:
- Make dressing in a small jar. Shake well, then pour into the big jar.
- Place carrot in jar, then the chilli if using and the sumac.
- Then place your protein in
- Next, put the cranberries in
- Then add the mint and coriander.
- Toast the chopped almonds in a fry pan to toast them. When cool, put them in a separate container.
- Put the lid on and store in the fridge
- TO SERVE: Pour salad into a bowl. Sprinkle almonds on top and mix the salad up well.
Enjoy!
