Notes

Keto Salad Ideas

Tortilla chips, we now have different keto friendly tortilla chips such as quest or even fatsnax to mix in with your salad for a crunch
Pico de Gallo, instead of the grape tomatoes use pico de Gallo for a tasty sub.
Guacamole, why just have plain avocados, although tasty. You can add in some fresh guac with a delicious lime flavor. Just remember the guac is extra!
Shredded chicken, swap out the ground beef and use the taco seasoning on shredded chicken or perhaps steak for a nice change up in protein. Or, use them both!
Red or green salsa, either is perfect in this recipe.
Queso, can you imagine the flavor of warm queso running through your salad? I am addicted thinking about it!
