Easy Keto Taco Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Yield: 2 servings

  • 1 cup (120g) raw walnuts
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups (120g) chopped lettuce or mixed baby greens
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) salsa
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Tangy Avocado Mayo (see Tangy Avocado Mayo)

For Garnish (Optional).

  • fresh cilantro leaves
  • lime juice

Method

  1. To prepare the walnuts, either cover them with cold water and place in the fridge to soak overnight or cover with near-boiling water and soak for 30 minutes
  2. To make the taco filling, drain the soaked walnuts, then transfer them to a blender or food processor and pulse until they have the texture of cooked ground beef
  3. Place the chopped walnuts, broth, and seasonings in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes, until most of the broth has been absorbed
  4. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes
  5. The walnuts should have absorbed all of the liquid
  6. Divide the lettuce between 2 serving bowls
  7. Top each bowl with half of the taco filling, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of salsa, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of mayo
  8. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired
  9. Refrigerate the components separately in tightly sealed containers for up to 3 days
  10. If you don’t have any Tangy Avocado Mayo on hand, you can always replace it with guacamole or plain avocado slices
