What Equipment You Need
How to Make Keto Harvest Salad
Making a salad is very simple: chop up the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. The finer everything is chopped, the more flavor you can fit on your fork.
For the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients except the olive oil. Once combined, drizzle in olive oil until the dressing emulsifies and thickens, then pour over the salad when ready to eat!
How to Store Keto Harvest Salad
Store this in your refrigerator in an airtight container.
If you're making this salad ahead of time or for meal prep, don't cut the avocado last so that it doesn't brown.
When you are ready to eat, slice your avocado and then toss the salad with the dressing right before serving.
This salad can last a few days in the refrigerator without dressing or avocado mixed in.
