What Is Carpaccio?

Carpaccio traditionally consists of very thinly sliced raw meat, usually beef or even fish, that is dressed with oil and lemon or vinaigrette. For our Keto carpaccio, we have used smoked salmon for ease and convenience, to create the protein base of our dish. We have used thinly sliced strips of salmon alongside finely sliced radishes to create the feel of a classic carpaccio.

Can I Use a Different Protein?

We have used smoked salmon to add some festive indulgence to this Christmas Keto recipe. However, this dish is easy to adapt to suit your tastes. The dish would work well with beef carpaccio or even bresaola beef slices. You can also swap the herbs and cream cheese if desired. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any alterations made to the recipe.
