2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to keep things simple and fresh.
The bell peppers and cucumber are the stars of the show, and I use a combination of red and yellow bell peppers for a pop of color.
For the dressing, I whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for a tangy and creamy flavor.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup (60g) chopped cooked chicken or 1/4 cup (60g) crumbled goat cheese for an extra 10g of protein.
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace feta cheese with 1/4 cup (60g) crumbled mozzarella cheese, which has a similar flavor profile but lower in carbs.
• Air Fryer Option: Roast the bell peppers and cucumber in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a crispy texture and caramelized flavor.
