Many low-carbers tend to rely too heavily on broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower. They omit most legumes because the assumption is that beans are too high in carbs. And in fact, many are too high.

It is low in carbs, Gluten-Free, delicious, and it pairs well with any type of entrée.

The best part is that there endless variations for toppings.
