Keto Springtime Rainbow Romaine Boats
Spring is here, and it is time to incorporate more colorful vegetables into our Keto recipes! These Keto springtime rainbow romaine boats are the perfect low-carb snack. They are filled with freshness from the raw vegetable filling, crunchiness from the lettuce boats, and creaminess from the tahini sauce. They can be made in under 20 minutes and taste delicious.
Can you make these Keto springtime romaine boats ahead of time?
Although it is best to enjoy vegetables fresh, this Keto springtime snack recipe can still be prepared ahead of time. To keep these Keto romaine boats as fresh as possible, avoid drizzling the sauce on top. Assemble the lettuce boats in an airtight container together with the vegetable filling. Squeeze lemon juice on top and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the tahini sauce in a separate air-tight jar in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Another way to store this Keto springtime side dish is to store all the ingredients separately in air-tight jars in the fridge. That way, they can last up to 1 week. Assemble the boats whenever you are ready to eat, and drizzle the tahini sauce on top.
Can you customize this Keto springtime snack recipe?
Yes, you can customize this Keto springtime snack. A simple way to customize these romaine boats is by adding a variety of Keto-friendly vegetables. Some vegetables include spinach, broccoli, peppers, and kale. Making a variation on the dressing is also another way to customize this Keto springtime side dish. Instead of a creamy tahini sauce, yogurt cilantro sauce or yogurt lime sauce also works great in this recipe.
What can you serve with these Keto springtime romaine boats?
These Keto springtime rainbow romaine boats have a refreshing flavor which makes them the perfect snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside a main meal. They are light in the mouth, and every bite is a burst of different veggie flavors coated in creamy tahini sauce. These Keto romaine boats can also be served as a light dinner or lunch.
