What it is
A light and refreshing salad featuring tender, steamed chayote (a mild squash), generously sliced ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, thinly sliced red onion, all tossed in a simple lime and olive oil vinaigrette. This dish is naturally low in carbs and provides healthy fats, making it an excellent keto-friendly side or light meal.
Key ingredients
Chayote, avocado, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
No specific modifications are typically needed for this dish, but always confirm no sugary dressings are used if a restaurant prepares dressings in advance.
Watch out for
Rarely, a sweet dressing might be used, but this is less common for this type of salad. Chayote itself has low carbs, but in very large portions, it adds up. Avocado is keto.
