Recommendations

You can enrich your salad with keto-friendly ingredients as you wish.

You can use ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground pork instead of ground beef, according to your taste.

We want you to know how well sour cream would go with the avocado sauce instead of plain Greek yogurt.

Then, if you have sour cream instead of plain Greek yogurt, don’t hesitate to use it. You must be aware that this can slightly increase the carb ratio.

Those who don’t like cabbage can omit this ingredient from the list. You can use only iceberg lettuce instead. 1 cup of chopped iceberg lettuce will be enough.

As a suggestion, prepare a large amount of fried ground beef, divide it into portions, and put it in freezer bags. You can freeze them for months.

So, when you don’t have time, you only need to make avocado dressing and chop some greens.

You can also use grilled chicken, steak, or turkey instead of fried ground meats. Alternatively, cut the meat into julienne strips, season as you wish, and bake in the oven.
