    I do not see any winter squash in your pictures. Can we use spaghetti squash?

    An avocado shell is the outer casing of the avocado itself.

    Mmm. I love the simplicity of this meal. I subbed olive oil for mayonnaise as I prefer it.

    Why is there no dairy section on keto best and worse? Can you eat plain Greek yogart, milk???

    With yogurt you want no sugar added, as low carb and high fat as possible. Dairy with higher amounts of lactose, like yogurt and especially milk tends to be insulinogenic and affect insulin more than other foods of the same carb count. Milk in general is too high carb for keto, with too much sugar. It's covered in our Drinks guide.

    Some chorizo is sold already cooked. You would want a hard chorizo for this, not the softer raw kind. If you can't find that, you can substitute with other meats.

    Very yummy! I didn't go with the Mayo though. I used cream cheese for the spread.

    The mayonnaise is in black cup in the center of the dish and is used to add fat for satiety and flavor to the meal.

    It looks like the mayo is garnished with some type of herb or spice in the picture. What is it? It’s not in the recipe.
