Keto avocado pepperoni salad with mozzarella FAQ:

What is the best way to store leftover avocado pepperoni salad?

Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent the avocado from browning, you can add a little lemon juice. Consume within 1-2 days for best quality.

Can I substitute the pepperoni with another meat?

Yes, you can substitute pepperoni with other meats like salami or turkey pepperoni if you prefer. Just ensure the replacements are keto-friendly and low in carbs.

How can I tell if the avocado is ripe?

A ripe avocado should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. The color is usually darker, depending on the variety. If it’s firm, give it a few more days to ripen.

What modifications can I make for a dairy-free version?

To create a dairy-free version, simply omit the mozzarella cheese. You could also add avocado oil or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.

How long can I keep the salad in the fridge before it goes bad?

The salad can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge. However, the quality and texture may decline, especially due to the avocado.

Tips:

- Choose a ripe avocado for the best texture and flavor. The avocado should give slightly when you press it gently with your fingers.

- For added flavor and variety, consider adding some fresh herbs like basil or parsley.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the salad.

- To make it more substantial, you can add a handful of leafy greens like spinach or arugula.

- For extra crunch, top the salad with some chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds.

- Make sure to slice the mozzarella cheese thinly or use mozzarella pearls for easier mixing and an even distribution of flavor.
