Tips

  • Taco Seasoning: Make your own taco seasoning mix to control the ingredients and ensure it’s keto-friendly. Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: Use sparingly due to their carb content. You can reduce the amount or substitute with another lower-carb vegetable.
  • Pork Rinds: These make a great crunchy substitute for Doritos and keep the dish low-carb. You can also use cheese crisps if preferred.
  • Salsa: Ensure the salsa is sugar-free or make your own by combining diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  • Storage: This salad is best served fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep the pork rinds separate to maintain their crunchiness.
