6 Dishes for an Easy, Elegant Keto Easter Menu
1. Delicious “Secret Tip” Kale & Berry Salad
Gather 1 bunch kale (stalks removed and discarded, leaves sliced thinly), 1 lemon, juiced, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling, sea salt, liquid organic stevia, freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 cup raspberries, and ¼ cup pine nuts, sunflower seeds, or chopped toasted walnuts.
Place sliced kale, half of the lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a dash of salt in a large bowl.
Secret tip: Massage the kale with this mixture (by hand) until the kale starts to soften and even wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk remaining lemon juice, erythritol, and lots of freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Pour in 1/4 cup of oil while whisking until a dressing forms. Pour the dressing over the kale, and add the mango and seeds/nuts. Toss and serve. Serves 4. Make more for your Keto Easter Dinner!
2. Smoked Salmon Keto Eggs
Gather 12 organic hard-boiled eggs, 4 tablespoons smoked salmon (chopped), 3 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber, 2 teaspoons chopped dill, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
To make, prepare hard-boiled eggs by removing egg shells, cutting lengthwise, removing yolks, and placing yolks in a bowl. Set egg whites aside.
With a fork, break yolks into chunks. To egg yolks, add 3 tablespoons salmon, avocado mayonnaise, cucumber, dill, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir until combined.
Place egg whites on a serving dish or in a jelly roll pan lined with paper towels (to prevent eggs from rolling). Spoon about 1 tablespoon egg-yolk mixture into each egg-white half. Top eggs with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped salmon. Cover eggs and refrigerate up to 4 hours. Just before serving, garnish with dill sprigs.
3. Amazing Keto “Potato” Salad
If you’ve been eating Beyond Keto for any amount of time, you probably know that cauliflower is an easy, delicious substitute for potatoes. This recipe is no exception.
Gather 1 head organic cauliflower, 4 organic eggs (hard boiled and peeled), 1 cup keto-friendly avocado mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup organic green onions (chopped), 1/4 cup organic parsley (chopped), 1/2 cup organic celery (chopped), 2 cloves organic garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon organic black pepper.
To make, cut off and dispose of the cauliflower stem. Chop the remaining cauliflower into florets. Place cauliflower in a steamer and lightly steam until cauliflower is slightly tender but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Once steamed, set cauliflower aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and hard boiled eggs. Add in chopped onions, parsley, celery, and garlic. Use a fork to mix until eggs are mashed and ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add in apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Add in cauliflower florets. Mix until the cauliflower is thoroughly coated with mixture.
Cover cauliflower salad and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate. Serve and enjoy!
4. “Honey” Keto Glazed Ham
Gather a bone-in pre-cooked 8-10 pound ham, 1/3 cup water, 1 cup “brown-sugar” KETO sweetener, 1/2 cup organic butter, 2 tablespoons molasses, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 3 cloves garlic (minced), and freshly ground pepper.
To make, preheat the oven to 350°F. Trim the rind off the ham, leaving the fat layer intact. Score the fat in a crisscross “x” pattern, cutting into the fat. Avoid cutting all the way to the flesh under the fat.
Prepare a 9×13 baking dish or pan with coconut oil for easy cleanup. Place the ham in the dish and add water to cover the bottom. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sweetener, butter, molasses, mustard, and spices. Stir until dissolved and heated through. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Brush the ham with 1/3 of the glaze. Return ham to the oven uncovered for 15 minutes.
Remove ham from the oven. Re-glaze with 1/3 of the glaze. Return to the oven for 15 minutes. Repeat one more time with the last 1/3 of glaze. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper if desired. Cook for another (final) 15 minutes of cooking. Remove from the oven. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice and enjoy. Makes approximately 16 servings. Perfect for a Keto Easter Dinner!
5. Keto Lemon Bar “Fat-Bombs”
Gather 1 ounce of coconut butter, 1 ounce of coconut oil, 1 scoop Vanilla MCT Oil Powder, 1 ounce of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of keto sweetener, AND ½ cup lemon juice.
To make, mix coconut butter, coconut oil, MCT Oil Powder, unsalted butter, keto sweetener, and lemon juice into a bowl. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until just melted, then remove from the heat. Then, pour mixture into 8×8 baking pan
Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour, until set. Sprinkle your choice of extra keto sweetener on top for added embellishment — enjoy!
6. Keto Zone Lemon Berry Spritzer (Non-Alcoholic)
Gather 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup lemon juice (bottled or fresh), and sparkling mineral water.
First make the Keto Zone simple syrup: In a small saucepan, place raspberries, sweetener of choice, and water. Heat on high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, then mash berries using a potato masher. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain liquid into a bowl or jar. Press as much liquid as you can out of the berries using the back of a spoon against the sieve. Discard any remaining berries or use them for another application. Add lemon juice to the berry mixture, stir to combine.
To serve, pour 2 tablespoons of this keto syrup into the bottom of a glass. Add ice, and pour sparkling water over the ice. Garnish with a lemon slice and/or fresh berries. Enjoy!
