How do I keep my Keto Italian Lettuce Wrap from getting soggy?

Dry your lettuce very well, layer cheese directly on the lettuce, and add dressing right before eating. Parchment wrapping also helps.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes. Skip the cheese and add avocado for creaminess. Use a little extra olive oil in the dressing for richness.

What if I want more protein without extra fat?

Add lean turkey or chicken breast and keep just one slice of cheese. You can also boost protein with a side of hard-boiled eggs.

Is this wrap good for weight loss?

Definitely. It is low in net carbs, high in protein, and very filling. Track your exact ingredients to match your daily targets.

Can I pack this for school or office lunches?

Yes. Wrap tightly in parchment, keep the dressing separate, and store in a chilled lunch bag. It will hold up until lunchtime.
