This Keto Avocado Salad with Goat Cheese is my go-to recipe when I crave something light, flavorful, and satisfying. It's incredibly easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and is packed with healthy fats and fresh herbs. It's the perfect lunch or side dish for any occasion, whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a fancy get-together. I even packed this one time for my friend's hiking trip and it was a huge hit!

One of the best things about this recipe is its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, or even add some protein like grilled chicken or shrimp. I've also been known to add a sprinkle of everything-bagel seasoning to mine, which adds a surprisingly nice crunch. The possibilities are endless, really. Don't be afraid to put your personal stamp on it and make it your own.

📖 Instructions

First, prep your avocados. Gently cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice them into about 1/2-inch thick pieces. I like to use a really sharp knife for this; it makes all the difference.
Next, get your other ingredients ready. Finely chop the red onion. If you're sensitive to strong onion flavors, rinse it under cold water after chopping to mellow it out a bit. It's a small detail, but it can make a big difference.
Now, for the herbs! I prefer fresh cilantro and parsley, but dried will work in a pinch. Chop them finely and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced avocados, red onion, cilantro, and parsley. Gently toss to combine; you don't want to overmix and mash the avocados.
Crumble the goat cheese over the avocado mixture. I usually use about 4 ounces, but feel free to adjust to your taste. If you're into a more intense goat cheese flavor, go for it!
Finally, drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the salad. Season generously with salt and pepper. Give it one last gentle toss to make sure everything is nicely coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Avocado Salad with Goat Cheese! It's best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container (though the avocados may brown slightly).

📝 Notes

Make sure your avocados are ripe but not overripe. Slightly underripe avocados will work too, just give them some time to soften.
Feel free to add other veggies like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
If you're using dried herbs instead of fresh, use about half the amount.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
