About
Chorizo is a great keto protein because it’s known for a higher fat content. It’s also a great ingredient in general because ground chorizo sausage typically comes pre-seasoned and loaded with flavor. Choose either hot or mild chorizo to enjoy with the other salad ingredients at lunch time.
Ingredients
- 3 ounce ground chorizo by quijote
- 1 ¼ ounce red bell peppers, raw
- 1 ounce avocado, black skin, california type
- 2 ounce lettuce, mixed greens
- ½ ounce arugula, raw
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg ground
Instructions
- In a pan, cook the ground chorizo and diced bell pepper over a medium-high heat. Cook until the chorizo is crumbly and crispy and the bell pepper has charred a little in the pan.
- Turn the stove heat down to low and gently stir in chopped avocado. Gently fold the avocado over until it is coated in chorizo and warms up in the pan. Set these ingredients aside to cool slightly when done.
- Prepare the greens by chopping your lettuce and arugula. Toss them in a mixing bowl with all the remaining ingredients. For the salt and nutmeg, you may want to use just pinches of seasoning and add up to ⅛ tsp of each to avoid over-seasoning the greens.
- Arrange the dressed greens on a serving dish and top with the hot chorizo topping. Enjoy immediately.
