Bring a taste of summer to your table with these tasty dishes that fit the Very-Low-Carbohydrate Meal Pattern. This dish is a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.
This classic Italian soup is traditionally made with leafy greens, white beans, and potatoes in a savory broth with a little bit of spice. To make a low carb version, we replaced the white beans and potatoes with fresh cauliflower. Greek yogurt adds creaminess to the broth, and chicken adds extra protein. Add a side of Cauliflower Garlic “Bread” Sticks for a satisfying low carb meal.
When you are craving something cheesy, try this low-carb snack. Cauliflower adds extra fiber and nutrients and baking gives it a light crunch. You can add garlic powder and/or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to give them an extra kick of spice.
This quick and healthy recipe makes a great appetizer for a party. Feel free to substitute canned tuna for crab if desired; just omit the tarragon and replace with chives.
Enjoy this hummus as a dip for snacking with nonstarchy vegetables, whole-wheat pita, or whole-grain crackers. Find this recipe and more in The Diabetes Superfoods Cookbook and Meal Planner. To order directly from the American Diabetes Association, click here.
