Instructions
- Slice the cheese into serving-sized portions and fry it in butter over medium heat until it becomes golden. A few minutes on each side should be about right.
- Serve with avocado, cucumber, sour cream, pistachios and lemon.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Tip!
Go ahead and vary the crunchy veggie... or better yet, make a medley. Celery, radishes, jicama, kohlrabi, and even romaine lettuce all work well with or as a substitute for the cucumber.

If I added Celery, radishes and romaine lettuce
1/ would the carbs be the same or higher, 2/ would I still get into Ketosis.
I work and can't use some of your meals on the challenge either (need lunches that don't require heating), so I'm adding this for lunch in the challenge.
Thank you.
Halloumi has about 3.5 g carbs per 100g. This may vary by brand so check the label on the brand you bought.

That's going to depend on the size of your cucumber. An average medium cucumber would be about 200g.
