Keto taco salad

Keto Taco Salad is a delicious and healthy low-carb meal that’s perfect for anyone following a ketogenic diet. It combines flavorful ground pork, sharp cheddar cheese, and a refreshing mix of lettuce, salsa, and light sour cream for a satisfying dish that's easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

16 oz ground pork
450g
4.50 oz cheddar cheese
130g
6 tbsp light sour cream
90g
6 tbsp salsa sauce
100g
3 cups lettuce
140g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it's not pre-shredded.
- Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Measure out the sour cream and salsa sauce.
2. Cook the Pork:
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the ground pork until it's thoroughly browned. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks to ensure it crumbles evenly.
- Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, layer the chopped lettuce as the base.
- Evenly distribute the cooked ground pork over the lettuce.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat and lettuce.
4. Add Toppings:
- Drizzle the sour cream over the top of the salad.
- Spoon the salsa sauce evenly over the salad.
5. Serve:
- Toss gently if you prefer a mixed salad or leave as layers for a beautiful presentation.
- Divide the salad into individual bowls if desired.
6. Optional:
- Garnish with additional low-carb toppings such as diced avocado, sliced olives, or jalapeño peppers for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Brown the ground pork in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks for even browning.

- Drain excess grease from the cooked pork to keep the salad from becoming too oily.

- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.

- Choose a low-sugar salsa to keep the recipe keto-friendly.

- Layer the ingredients starting with a bed of lettuce, followed by ground pork, cheese, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream on top for the best presentation.

- Add optional keto-friendly toppings like avocado slices, jalapeños, or green onions for extra flavor and texture.

This Keto Taco Salad is a tasty, quick, and simple dish that will satisfy your cravings while keeping you on track with your low-carb lifestyle. It's perfect for a quick lunch, a light dinner, or even meal prep for the week ahead.
