Carbs Per Serving:  7g total
Effort:Easy

Ingredients:
½ pound chicken, beef, or ham – cooked and cut according to preference
OR
12 ounces tofu, firm drained very well
OR
6 large eggs

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
¼ cup chopped onion

¼ cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons capers – drained

3 tablespoons dill pickle – chopped

How to Prepare:
Note: chop meats to desired chunkiness after cooking. Leftovers work
great! In a large bowl, mix desired main ingredient with remaining ingredients.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a little horseradish sauce to
the ham or roast beef salad for some zip.
For egg salad: Mix everything but the eggs well. Chop eggs to desired chunkiness and fold into mixed ingredients. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce if desired. A squeeze of lemon also goes well.
For eggless salad: Mix everything but the tofu

Squish tofu with your hands or with a fork until it breaks apart. Fold in with remaining ingredients.
Eggless salad should sit for at least an hour, refrigerated, before serving.
Lemon or a few drops soy sauce work great in tofu based salads.
**personal note*** Process meats fine in a food processor for more of a
‘spread’ consistency. Don’t process with the remaining ingredients until you get the
meat broken down almost to the size you want. The spreads work very well on
lettuce leaves for roll-ups The chunky version works great over lettuce for a
salad meal.
NOTES : Counts for tofu and eggs not included in totals… tofu is 10 carbs,
eggs 3.6.

Carbs Per Serving: 20 total

Prep Time:15
Effort:Easy

Ingredients:
2 heads of butterhead lettuce

6 oz. Of cold leftover steak,thinly sliced
8 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half6 oz. Bleu cheese
10 tbs heavy cream

2 tbs mayonnaise
1 tbs vinegar (optional)

How to Prepare:
Beat the heavy cream and mayonnaise together in a small mixing bowl.
Crumble half the bleu cheese into the mixture (reserving the other
half for a garnish) and stir a few times. Add a drizzle of the
vinegar if it is too thick. Chill for at least two hours. (The
longer it chills, the more intense the flavor becomes.)
Slice the butterhead lettuce in wedges (or tear into pieces if you
prefer) and place on four salad plates. Pour the bleu cheese
dressing over the lettuce. Arrange strips of the cold steak (cold
filet is outrageously good in this dish!)and four cherry tomato
halves over the lettuce. Sprinkle the reserved bleu cheese on top.
Give each plate a grind of fresh pepper and serve immediately.

Serves: 8 Servings.
Carbs Per Serving: 6 grams carb 2 grams fiber (ECC=4)
Prep Time:<20 minutes
Effort:Easy

Ingredients:
2/3 cup vinegar
½ cup whipping cream
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼-1/2 cup Splenda
Pinch of salt
1 ½ tablespoons butter cut into pieces
1 (2-pound) head cabbage, shredded

How to Prepare:
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small, heavy saucepan; cook over
low heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, 8 to 10 minutes or
until thickened (mixture will appear curdled until it thickens).
Remove from heat. Add butter, stirring until it melts. Pour over
cabbage; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill.
You can add ½ cup chopped walnuts and only raise the carb count by
½ gram. If you’re on maintenance, ½ cup dried, chopped
cranberries and the walnuts brings you in at a little under 10 grams.
