🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. This includes ripe avocados, Bulgarian yogurt (or Greek yogurt for a close substitute), lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Having everything prepped and ready to go streamlines the process and makes the salad assembly a breeze.
- Prepare the Avocado: Gently halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small, bite-sized pieces. The key here is to use ripe but firm avocados. Overripe avocados will turn mushy, while underripe ones will lack flavor and creamy texture. It is very imporatnt
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Bulgarian yogurt (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, olive oil, and crushed garlic. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The lemon juice not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning.
- Season the Yogurt Base: Season the yogurt base with salt and pepper to taste. Don't be shy with the seasoning! A well-seasoned yogurt base is crucial for bringing out the flavors of the avocado and other ingredients. Feel free to add other spices like dill, mint or a pinch of chili flakes for extra heat.
- Combine Avocado and Yogurt: Gently fold the diced avocado into the seasoned yogurt base. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the avocado chunks' integrity. Overmixing can cause the avocado to become mushy and the salad to lose its appealing texture.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall refreshing quality. Although, sometimes I find this step unnessesary... I'm a bit impatient!
- Optional Toppings: Before serving, consider adding some optional toppings for extra flavor and texture. Some great keto-friendly options include crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh dill, a sprinkle of paprika, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Let your creativity guide you and experiment with different combinations to find your perfect salad bliss.
- Enjoy Your Salad: Serve the Bulgarian Keto Avocado & Yogurt Bliss Salad chilled and enjoy! This salad can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a side dish, or a quick and healthy snack. It pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish for a complete and satisfying meal.
