Keto Lamb’s Lettuce Caprese Salad

This is a great easy salad to throw together. I give the option to partially cook/dry out the halved cherry tomatoes, which intensifies their sweetness.

Chef’s Tips:

• Lamb’s lettuce is a very mild-tasting leaf and is lovely in salads! They are so pretty too!
• If you would like to add more protein for a more substantial meal, you could add cooked prawns, boiled eggs, or leftovers from your Sunday chicken roast.

Lamb’s Lettuce Caprese Salad

Put a twist on a classic Italian appetizer salad, the Caprese salad, by adding lamb's lettuce and pine nuts. Make it a heartier dish by adding your favorite protein, like chicken, steak, or shrimp. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.
