Recipe Tips for Making the Best Egg Fried Rice with Ground Beef

Make sure to use gluten free soy sauce. You could also use coconut amino or gluten free hoisin sauce instead of the soy sauce.
I make this recipe with ground beef. However, you could also use ground turkey, chicken, or vegetarian crumbles. You could also use thinly slice sirloin.
You can use almost any kind of vegetables for this recipe. Some other great options are: peas, mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini, cabbage, and snap peas.
If you don’t have previously cooked rice, let your freshly cooked rice cool before using it for fried rice.
You can use any type of rice for this recipe. Although I prefer Jasmin or Basmati rice, brown, sticky or long grain rice will also work perfectly.
The butter can be switched out for your preferred cooking oil if desired.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Cooking the beef and vegetables separately in the pan allows for the beef to caramelize better than if they were mixed together. That being said it’s not absolutely necessary. You could cook them mixed together if preferred.

Mediterranean Broccoli Salad

June 22, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Mediterranean Broccoli Salad is quick and refreshing! It features four simple key ingredients: broccoli, cucumbers, purple cabbage and parsley. The summery salad is tossed in a light lemony dressing and topped with feta cheese!

Ingredients you’ll need

To make this deliciously summery broccoli salad, you’ll need broccoli, cucumbers, purple cabbage (which has a lot less carbs than red onion), fresh garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano and salt.

What else can I add to this?

This basic Mediterranean salad has several variations and you can change it up to your liking. Here are a few ideas:

Add chopped onions such as red onions, shallots, or green onions.
Use more fresh herbs! In addition to parsley, you can add some chopped fresh mint leaves or dill.
Toss in some tomato, I do sometimes add small pieces of tomatoes.
Olives are a great addition to this Mediterranean style salad. They also make a great garnish.
Add crispy crumbled bacon to the top of the salad.

How to make a Mediterranean Broccoli Salad

Chop the vegetables and herbs. I like this recipe best with the raw broccoli chopped into bite size pieces, the cucumbers unpeeled and minced into small pieces, the purple cabbage chopped small, and the garlic and parsley chopped finely.
Dress the salad. This salad has a really simple dressing that can be made right over the vegetables. Sprinkle the ingredients with, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and lemon juice.
Add in the cubes of feta cheese. While this does call for the feta cheese cubed, you could also use crumbled.
Toss the salad to combine and enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

This Mediterranean broccoli salad is best when eaten right after it is made. That being said, it will still be delicious as leftovers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Is Mediterranean broccoli salad Keto friendly?

Yes, this broccoli salad is ok to eat on a keto diet. It’s keto, gluten free and low carb and is loaded with fiber. It’s also a very affordable keto option. It’s the perfect keto side dish for bbqs and picnics.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Keto Mediterranean Broccoli Salad Recipe

This Keto Mediterranean Broccoli Salad Recipe requires minimal effort and only uses simple and easy to find ingredients like Broccoli, Purple Cabbage and Cucumber. The delicious Mediterranean salad are also naturally high in fiber and is paleo and low carb as well as gluten free.

Since this broccoli salad is such a summery dish I like to serve it with an equally summery side dish like my Keto Chicken Kabobs or my Grilled Chicken Satay. They’re perfect for impressing guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

– The mayonnaise can be switched out for greek yogurt if preferred.

– You can use red onion in place of the purple cabbage. I like to use purple cabbage instead because it has considerably less of carbs than the red onion does. I also like the crunch that the cabbage adds.

– This salad recipe can be made with store bought greek dressing instead of using the lemon juice and olive oil.
