What's better than a classic tuna salad sandwich for lunch? Just one thing: this Primal Tuna Salad Sandwich that's loaded with veggies and made with creamy Garlic Aioli Mayo. It's a whole meal packaged between slices of (gluten-free) bread!

When we set out to uncover which of our keto-friendly recipes were fan favorites, we were surprised that preferences were all over the culinary map. No shockers that our sweet treats were hits, but we also found that purely Primal standbys like bone marrow stood their ground in a sea of keto-fied comfort food makeovers.

Whip up this easy, inspired soup in the AirFryer in just 30 minutes. Primal Kitchen Sesame Ginger Dressing marries harmoniously with the liquid that leaches from the beef meatballs to create a heady, aromatic broth that’s rich in umami.

These scrumptious Pecan Sticky Buns are filled with a buttery-sweet cinnamon and pecan filling, drizzled with coconut sugar caramel, and infused with Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides for added protein. They're also yeast-free and gluten-free, and easier to make from scratch than you might think.

We tweaked traditional pasta primavera substantially—instead of cheese, we whipped up an herby cashew sauce; instead of pasta, we used zoodles; instead of a huge mix of different veggies, we opted to let the zucchini be the focal point. We added fresh shrimp cooked with lemon zest to our no-dairy remake, but if you want to keep the dish vegan, you can sub roasted broccoli and toasted walnuts or almonds.

This seven-ingredient spinach salmon salad is one of these easy-to-assemble workday salad lunches. The key to keeping all of the components fresh is to pack them separately: 1 container for the cooked salmon, 1 container for the salad fixings, 1 for the sliced avocado, and 1 for the dressing.

You can have dinner that everyone will love on the table in just 15 minutes. All it takes is browning some meat, adding some veggies and sauces to the mix, then layering on even more flavor with some chopped nuts, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh lime juice. One-pot dinner for the win!

Our Keto Buffalo Wings are every bit as crispy-skinned, tender-on-the-inside, spicy and sexed-up as the most crave-worthy wings out there. We used an AirFryer to get the right texture (no deep-fried bath in cheap seed oils here!), and whipped up a finger-licking-good hot sauce made with our Primal Kitchen Spicy Ketchup to coat the wings.

Chicken wings are a go-to snack for game days, parties, and even fun family nights. This tasty take on the sports bar staple is air-fried rather than deep-fried and coated with our delicious no-soy Teriyaki Sauce & Marinade for classic wings with less mess and more sweet teriyaki flavor.

Our air-fried guacamole balls marry the classic chips and guac combo into one delicious handheld appetizer. To keep things gluten-free and Paleo, we used cassava flour and grain-free tortilla chips.

Our Lamb Chops with BBQ Gravy recipe is a classic meat-and-potatoes meal with a slight twist. Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ Sauce adds a mustardy, slightly acidic kick that helps cut through the umami savoriness of the lamb chop gravy. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, this is comfort food reimagined!

In this Mediterranean version of chicken and rice, we use two Primal Kitchen vinaigrettes and marinades to add herby, slightly sweet flavor to the chicken, and cook the chicken with rich, clean-tasting avocado oil. We sub cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

We took your favorite Asian noodle bowl and made it gluten-free by swapping shirataki or kelp noodles for traditional noodles. Then we added stir-fried, fermented, and raw veggies, flavorful marinated chicken, and Sesame Ginger Dressing made with avocado oil for a perfectly flavorful one-bowl meal. 

Every cook should have a trustworthy and simple stew recipe that they can make time and again and feel confident it will satiate and satisfy. Even if you’re cooking for one, stews make great freezer-friendly meals you can portion and stash in freezer bags to have at the ready.

If you’re a longtime keto fan who eats the same egg dish every day, or if you’re a low-carb newbie wondering what to eat instead of your usual bagel or muffin, these keto breakfast recipes will make you a believer.

This creamy and crave-worthy version of beef stroganoff comes together with gluten-free noodles, arrowroot flour, and grass-fed beef. Cook it in your Instant Pot for a savory, hearty meal that’s ready in just 45 minutes from pot to plate.
