Keto Italian Lettuce Wrap
Keto Italian Lettuce Wrap
A Keto Italian Lettuce Wrap is a low-carbohydrate meal that features a lettuce wrap as the base instead of traditional bread. The wrap is then filled with various Italian-style ingredients such as sliced deli meats, slices of pepperoni, slices of ham, and salami, To add more flavor, a homemade Italian dressing made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, and black pepper is drizzled on top. This meal is perfect for those following a ketogenic or low-carb diet.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 organic lettuce leaf (outer leaf)
- 2 slice of organic American cheese
- 6 slices of turkey (the small slices from Oscar Mayer’s deli fresh)
- 6 slices of ham (same)
- 8 slices of pepperoni
- 2 large round of Italian dry salami (Naturalissima brand)
- 1 of a chopped up pepperoncini
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pile up the ingredients in the bowl of a giant lettuce leaf.
- Wrap it and you’ll have the magical sandwich you saw above!
- I added 2 tablespoons of Italian Dressing (I used one made locally “Fanny Mencoboni’s Original Italian Dressing” which has 1 carb and is delicious) on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy!
NOTE
Feel free to do the inverted wrap too if you’re out of lettuce or simply don’t have big enough leaves as I did here with some rosemary ham, muenster cheese, mustard, and arugula. Ham is always such a pain to wrap, though.
