I have two easy to throw together, low carb snacks/lunches to share with you today. I’ve been inspired by pins of chicken or tuna salad in a lettuce boat recently, so I decided to throw one together. It’s not so much a recipe as a gathering of ingredients. Basically, I eyeballed these, so go with your gut if you try this.
Chicken Salad with Cranberry and Bacon
1 cooked chicken breast, chopped

Seasonal Decorating, Made Simple

2T dried cranberries
2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1T mayonnaise
1t ranch dressing
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients. Serve on a bed of lettuce.
I love adding something sweet to a savory dish. I almost don’t miss the bread. Almost…
I also made a cute little mini-sandwich out of cucumbers inspired by a recipe on Try for DIY.
I liked the crunch of these. I made mine with cheddar cheese and salami, but the inspiration was colby and roast beef, which sounds like an equally delish option. I would normally eat the cheese and salami alone, but I feel a lot better about it when there is a veggie involved.
I’m really trying to get back on the low carb regimen, so help me out! What are some good snacks and lunches?
