👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Halve and scoop avocados into a bowl. Mash to your preferred consistency — chunky works best here.
  2. 2Add lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Fold together.
  3. 3Fold in smoked salmon gently — you want pieces, not mush.
  4. 4Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. 5Serve with bell pepper strips for dipping. Budget tip: Swap smoked salmon for a pan seared center cut salmon fillet. More protein, less cost.
  6. 6Mix Greek yogurt, mayo, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  7. 7Add shredded chicken and red onion. Fold to coat. Gently fold in chunky avocado — don’t mash it. Note: Keep cucumbers separate until ready to eat for maximum crunch.
  8. 8When ready, add cucumbers and toss briefly. Serve in keto tortillas or eat straight as a salad.
  9. 9Finely chop shrimp, roasted peppers, olives and capers — everything roughly the same size. Combine in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
  10. 10Spoon into avocado halves or over cucumber rounds. Finish with Citrus Pepper seasoning right before serving.
  11. 11Dice turkey and roughly chop eggs. Add to a bowl. Mix kalamata olives, olive oil and garlic together. Add to bowl.
  12. 12Add labneh and fold together gently — keep the texture, don’t over mix. Then red onion, parsley, hemp hearts, red pepper flakes and Land seasoning. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  13. 13Serve alongside romaine leaves and wrap like egg rolls.
  14. 14Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
  15. 15Mix ground chicken with baking powder, Land seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper until fully combined.
  16. 16Line air fryer basket with parchment. Spread chicken mixture as thin and even as possible — thinner means crispier. Air fry 18–22 minutes until edges are golden and center is crispy.
  17. 17Let cool 10 minutes — they crisp up more as they cool. Break into chips and serve.
