How to Store the Low-Carb Pork Chops with Avocado Salsa
Store the cooked pork chops and avocado salsa separately in airtight containers. Keep the pork chops in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Keep the avocado salsa in a separate container and store it in the fridge for 1-2 days.
When ready to eat, reheat the pork chops in the microwave or stovetop until heated. Add the avocado salsa to the reheated pork chops just before serving.
Note: Avocado salsa tends to turn brown when exposed to air, so storing it in an airtight container with as little air as possible is best. You can also add a drizzle of lime juice over the salsa before storing it to help prevent browning.
