Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Albanian dishes.
What it is
A simple and refreshing green salad featuring crisp lettuce, sliced boiled eggs, dressed generously with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. A common accompaniment to heartier meals.
Key ingredients
Fresh lettuce (e.g., romaine, butter lettuce), hard-boiled eggs, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper. Optionally: a touch of red wine vinegar.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no high-carb vegetables are added (e.g., tomatoes, carrots). Confirm dressing is purely oil, lemon, and salt/pepper.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Ju lutem mos shtoni domate apo karota. Salca është vetëm vaj, limon, kripë dhe piper?
Please ensure no tomatoes or carrots are added. Is the dressing just oil, lemon, salt, and pepper?
Watch out for
While low-carb, very large quantities of lettuce can accumulate some carbs. Potential for pre-made dressings with sugar (unlikely for this simple dish in Albania).
