- Prepare Seafood: Cook the mixed seafood according to your preference. Options include boiling, steaming, or sautéing. Ensure the seafood is cooked through and allow it to cool.
- Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. This keto-friendly dressing will provide a tangy kick to complement the richness of the seafood.
- Assemble Salad: Combine the cooked and cooled seafood with mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, thinly sliced red onion, black olives, and chopped fresh parsley in a large bowl.
- Pour Dressing and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is well-coated. The dressing infuses the salad with a zesty flavor that complements the seafood beautifully.
- Garnish with Avocado: Garnish the Keto Seafood Salad with slices of fresh avocado. The creamy texture and healthy fats from the avocado enhance the overall satiety and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld, creating a refreshing and satisfying dish.
