Keto Taco Salad with Guacamole & Salsa

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

Mexican has always been one of my favorites, even before going keto. It can be switched up to fit any diet, so if you are ever cooking for someone with an allergy, it is usually pretty easy to omit or find a replacement for them.

Keto Taco Salad w- Salsa & Guac Second

For this taco salad, I made a simple base of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. I layered it with taco meat, made some homemade guacamole, added in some creamy salsa, and garnished with some lime juice, cilantro, and Mexican cheese on top!

  • 4 ounce fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, wedges

The Execution

6. Make the salsa by combining mayonnaise and salsa in a bowl. Stir to combine well.
