This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Keto & Low-Carb Boards, with 19 more keto boards. The book has the shopping list with the net carbs of every item, full macros per serving, the step-by-step build and the carb traps to avoid.

Why it works

The swaps here are simple: bresaola instead of salami, smoked turkey instead of prosciutto, shrimp and eggs for extra protein, and Swiss, Parmesan and part-skim mozzarella for lighter cheese.

Snap peas, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes are the dippers, and pickles, mustard, lemon and black pepper keep it full of flavor. About 54 g of protein and 8 g net carbs per serving.
