Low Carb Goats Cheese and Prosciutto Christmas Salad

This quick and easy low carb salad makes a great Keto Christmas recipe to enjoy over the holidays. Packed with fats and flavor, this delicious salad is prepared with peppery arugula, tender spinach, dried cranberries, creamy avocado, salty prosciutto, tangy goats cheese and crunchy walnuts, served with a fragrant rosemary and orange dressing. This makes a great lunch for the festive season or Keto Christmas starter.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

We have used rich and creamy goats cheese for our low carb Christmas salad. If preferred, you can swap this for another soft cheese such as Camembert or even a crumbly blue cheese. These would both pair well with the sweet ingredients in the dish and still be in keeping with the festive flavors! Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Are Cranberries Keto?

When used sparingly, dried cranberries can be enjoyed as part of a balanced low carb diet. They add little bursts of festive sweetness to the dish, which adds to the overall texture and also complements the savory meat and cheese. If you wish to reduce the carb count, you can use a smaller quantity of cranberries or omit them entirely if preferred.
