Low Carb No Cook Recipes for Summer
With these no-cook recipes, you can keep your cool and minimize your time in the kitchen. They can be whipped up in about 30 minutes or less.
Low Carb Berry and Burrata Salad
Summer’s sweet berries combine with creamy burrata and peppery arugula for a tasty, refreshing salad. Thanks to roasted, salted pistachios, this salad is big on flavor and texture. We use a simple balsamic dressing, but you can swap that out for your favorite vinaigrette. Just be sure to track the difference in Net Carbs. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish at a summer gathering.
Whipped Feta and Heirloom Tomato Salad
Fresh dill and lemon balance out briny feta and are whipped into a thick and smooth base for slices of juicy heirloom tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and featuring savory Atkins Ranch Protein Chips. This salad brings a Mediterranean twist to your table.
Keto Green Goddess Tuna Sandwiches
These sandwiches are a hand-held spin on the popular Green Goddess Salad. Savory green goddess dressing is combined with jarred tuna fillets for an upgraded tuna salad sandwich, with crunchy red cabbage added for texture. This recipe uses cauliflower sandwich thins, but feel free to use any low carb or keto-friendly bread with 1 gram of Net Carbs per slice. Customize this sandwich with fillings, such as cheese, tomato or pickle slices or romaine lettuce leaves.
Low Carb Chopped Italian Grinder Salad
Here’s all the flavors of an Italian grinder sandwich: Pepperoncini for tangy heat and a creamy Italian dressing tossed with finely chopped vegetables, savory meats and cheese. This dish combines the best part of a sandwich and a salad for a hearty, no-cook meal.
From vibrant salads to hearty sandwiches, these no-cook dishes are sure to become your go-to options for a refreshing, satisfying, and low-carb summer.
