Scarlett West worried her dinner parties would lose appeal when she chose a low-carb diet. But Scarlett’s get-togethers are more well-liked than ever now. “Low-carb does not have to mean dull,” she argues. She makes fun and tasty easy here.
1. Kick off with creative appetizers
Starting with bacon-wrapped asparagus is something Scarlett enjoys. She says, “They’re always a hit and easy to make.” Still another great is Mini bell peppers stashed in cheese. “They are low-carb, creamy, and vibrantly colorful perfection.”
2. Focus on a versatile main course
Scar Scarlett’s supper always features herbed chicken thighs cooked with lemon and garlic. She says, “Chicken thighs stay juicy and flavorful; they go nicely with almost any side dish.” She advises vegetarian readers to make a zucchini noodle Alfredo with a creamy cauliflower sauce.
3. Offer satisfying sides
Cauliflower rice pilaf is one of Scarlett’s secrets to success. To have plenty of taste, sauté it with onions, garlic, and herbs. None even misses ordinary rice, she says. For extra freshness, she also makes a leafy green salad with avocado using a tart vinaigrette.
4. Treat guests to a guilt-free dessert
Scarlett counts on her low-carb chocolate mousse. “Just heavy cream, cocoa powder, and a little stevia. She believes it is rich, decadent, and does not feel like a compromise.
Scarlett’s ideas will help you throw a classy, low-carb dinner party that suits every pallet. “The secret is to give fresh, tasty foods top priority. Nobody will even consider the carbohydrates, she says with laughter.
