📖 Instructions

1. First, gently rinse the avocado, then slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the pit by carefully inserting the blade of your knife into the pit and twisting gently.
2. Next, scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon and place it on a cutting board. Dice the avocado into half-inch cubes. Be careful not to over-ripened avacodos, they might get mushy!.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado with the sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and any other optional ingredients you're using, like a pinch of salt or pepper. Make sure the bowl is big enough to allow easy mixing!
4. Gently toss the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocado. A little bit of breaking up is alright, but try to keep most of the cubes intact.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. If you're using it, add a tiny pinch of your favorite sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
6. Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Some people like a bit more lemon juice, while others prefer a touch more salt.
7. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and serve immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can chill it for a short time if preferred. Make sure it is thoroughly chilled. This is how I personally like to serve it!
8. If you're not serving immediately, gently press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface of the salad to help prevent the avocado from browning. If the avocados do get brown though it should still be good!
9. Garnish with extra sunflower seeds or a sprinkle of dried cranberries for a prettier presentation. A few fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, also add a nice touch.
10. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy Keto Avocado Salad! Its a perfect snack or even a light lunch option. Try serving this salad on a hot summer day its very refreshing.
