PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD
Chop romaine and toss with Caesar dressing, parmesan, and bacon bits. Add grilled chicken for a complete keto meal.
LETTUCE WRAPS
Use whole romaine leaves as tortilla replacements. Fill with seasoned ground beef, cheese, sour cream, and salsa for keto tacos.
WEDGE SALAD
Quarter the head, drizzle with blue-cheese dressing, and top with bacon, tomatoes, and blue-cheese crumbles.
GRILLED ROMAINE
Halve lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and grill cut-side down 3–4 minutes. Top with parmesan and Lemon Vinaigrette.
BURGER BUNS
Use large outer leaves as bun replacements—sturdy, crunchy, and carb-light.
CHOPPED SALAD
Finely chop and mix with cucumbers, radishes, feta, olives, and Greek dressing for a refreshing Mediterranean bowl.
