Sallatë Greke
Greek Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Albanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A refreshing salad made with crisp cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, Kalamata olives, and generous chunks of feta cheese, dressed simply with olive oil and oregano. A staple in Albanian cuisine.
Key ingredients
Cucumber, bell peppers (green, red), red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ask for light on onions and bell peppers if strictly counting carbs. Confirm no sugary dressing. Ensure no added tomatoes if avoiding the higher sugar content.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Me pak qepë dhe speca, ju lutem. Pa salcë me sheqer. Dhe pa domate të shtuara.
Light on onions and bell peppers, please. No sugary dressing. And no added tomatoes.
Watch out for
Too many tomatoes (if added by the restaurant), too much red onion or bell peppers can increase net carbs. Check for hidden sugars in vinaigrette.
