7 Best No Cook Keto Dinner Ideas #keto #nocookmeals

Loading...
Ideas and Recipes for Easy Keto Diet Dinner meals that require no cooking. Perfect for summer or quick meals.

As the weather warms up, the desire to cook hot meals for dinner tends to vanish. Especially on days where you just don’t want to heat up the kitchen and stand over a hot pan.

Some of these meals can be prepared in an instant. Others, you can prepare ahead when the weather is cooler and have your fridge stocked and ready with meals for days.


1. Broccoli Salad


I’ve been making this at least once a week lately. It’s so easy to put together. Requires no cooking and is the perfect keto meal.

Ingredients:


  • 1 Head of Broccoli
  • 1/2 to 1 Cup of Sour Cream
  • 1-2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Cup of Grated Cheese


Instructions:


  1. Chop the broccoli into florets and finely chop or grate the stalk/stem.
  2. Place the prepared broccoli into a salad bowl.
  3. Pour over the sour cream and lemon juice.
  4. Add the grated cheese and any other seasoning you like.
  5. Stir well to combine and place in the fridge for about an hour to allow the flavours to develop.


2. Deviled Eggs


You’ll be surprised to discover that you can create Keto Deviled Eggs with just two ingredients. And it’s so easy, once you know how, you’ll be making them all the time!

To make Keto Deviled Eggs, first you need to make hard boiled eggs. There are loads of methods for making hard boiled eggs, and we all have our favourite.

Here’s mine:


  • Place eggs into a small saucepan.
  • Cover with water.
  • Bring up to the boil.
  • When boiling, time 10 minutes.
  • Once the eggs have boiled for 10 minutes, remove from the heat.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Peel for perfect hard boiled eggs.

How to make Keto Deviled Eggs:

Once you have your hard boiled eggs, it’s time to create keto deviled eggs.

Here’s how:


  • Cut the hard boiled eggs in half.
  • Carefully scoop out the egg yolks and place into a bowl.
  • Once you have all of the yolks in a bowl, mix through sour cream.
  • Mash until smooth.
  • Fill the empty egg whites with the egg yolk and sour cream mixture.
  • Enjoy straight away or refrigerate and use within a day or so.


These deviled eggs taste delicious with just egg and sour cream. If you’d like to flavour yours further, here are some ideas:


  • Salt & Pepper
  • Avocado
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise
  • Herbs such as chives
  • Paprika

3. Meat and Cheese Platter


I put together the above meat and cheese platters. I visited a local supermarket and chose a variety of cheese and smoked meat/salami options. I also added some chopped vegetables and strawberries.

It was then simply a matter of chopping and plating up a delicious plate full for one of the easiest no cook low carb meals.

4. Tuna Salad


I could enjoy a tuna salad every day and never get bored. My favourite combination is spinach, a small tin of tuna, avocado, sour cream and/or mayo. It’s just such a perfectly balanced meal and can be easily adpated depending on what you have available in your fridge and your mood.

5. Avocado and Feta Salad


This is my other go to salad of choice – a simple, yet satisfying, combination of spinach, cucumber, feta and avocado. If you haven’t yet tried this combination then you’re in for a treat. The flavours and textures work together perfectly.

6. Lettuce Wraps


A lettuce cup make and excellent wrap to hold your favourite sandwich fillings. You could fill a lettuce cup with your tuna salad, mentioned above, or leftover roast chicken and mayo. (As pictured above.)

7. Breakfast For Dinner


Ordinarily I could enjoy breakfast for any meal of the day. When it comes to Summer and quick meals, I often turn to no cook breakfast meals like Chia Pudding or Smoothies.
