What Kind of Peppers Should I Use?

We have used store-bought roasted jarred red bell peppers for our easy Keto salad recipe. When selecting roasted peppers, look for whole roasted peppers that are preserved in oil and free from added sugars. If preferred, you can roast your own red bell peppers. Roast whole red peppers at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes, turning the peppers halfway through. The peppers should be very soft, and the skin should be lightly charred. Peel away the soft skin and discard the seeds. Use the peppers as directed.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

We have used soft and creamy mozzarella for our Mediterranean inspired Keto salad. If you would like to use an alternative cheese, you could substitute for some crumbled feta or goat's cheese, adjusting quantities to taste. You could also top the salad with grilled halloumi cheese if preferred. Please be sure to adjust your macros accordingly to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
