Prosciutto Roll-ups

This is a great snack if you are keto, looking for high protein, or something different but tasty.
I love to make this. It’s so simple.

1 package of goat cheese or if you don't like goat cheese use your favorite cheese.
1 package of prosciutto
1 avocado
Fresh arugula if you don’t like arugula use your favorite micro greens or sprouts
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
A drizzle of balsamic dark or white
Fresh ground black pepper
If you want to spice that s**t up add a sprinkling of crushed dried red pepper.

Make it: lay out a slice of prosciutto, lay your greens of choice on top of half, and place a slice of Alvacado on top of the greens then crumble of goat cheese next to that. Roll up starting at the end with the topping on it. Once you have rolled as many as you want, plate them sprinkle them with black pepper, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic, and you're ready to dig in.

French Carrot Salad

“Carottes râpées” or as we Southerners call it “grated carrots salad,” grated raw carrots, tossed with olive oil and lemon, with a touch of cumin. But if you’re fancy, Use a mess of colored carrots, replace lemon juice with lime juice, up the cumin a tad, and replace the parsley with cilantro.

Make it: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 Tablespoons of olive oil, 3 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Add 1 pound of fresh carrots, grated on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor, fitted with a grating attachment, and toss to coat, fold in ½ cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving.
