Vegetarian Celeriac Salad Stuffed Avocado

Recipe originally shared by my friend Elviira at Low Carb, So Simple.

Studded avocados are the best! They are a light and refreshing lunch for those days you don't feel like eating meat. The filling is inspired by my mum's recipe for celeriac spread which is commonly served on top of bread back home. I always loved the subtle sweetness of celery root combined with homemade mayo and zingy lemon. In my version, I skipped the carrot and used nutritious avocados instead of bread.

Instead of mayo, you can substitute the same amount of cream cheese or for vegan keto meal, use healthy oils such as avocado, macadamia, or extra virgin olive oil.

Here are even more recipes from the KetoDiet Cookbook:

• Crispy Bacon Pancakes
• Double Chocolate Muffins
• Turkey Patties with Cucumber Salsa
• Essential Keto Crepes.
• Finally, if you want to learn more about what's inside my book and whether it's what you are looking for, there is a fantastic review of the KetoDiet Cookbook by Amy Berger at Tuit Nutrition and another great review and recipe for my Paleo Chicken Nuggets by Franziska Spritzler of Low-Carb Dietitian!
