It’s definitely okay to use bottled lime or lemon juice for this recipe. I personally prefer to have some freshly squeezed lime juice since it has so much more flavor.
What extra ingredients can I add to this recipe?
Feel free to customize this keto salad recipe to suit your taste. For a little bit of heat, you can add some jalapeno, you can also add some fresh dill, parsley or cilantro. For more protein, you can add some bacon.
Can I store any leftovers?
I don’t personally recommend storing any leftovers, the eggs and avocado will oxidize quickly, turning your salad a bit brown. It’s preferable to have this recipe served fresh, but you may keep it in the fridge up to a day – Make sure to squeeze some extra lemon juice to help conserve your salad then tightly cover it with a plastic wrap.
