Sallatë me Oktapod dhe Ullinj
Octopus and Olive Salad
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added, as they are sometimes included in octopus salads. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Albanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pieces of boiled octopus, sliced and tossed with briny black olives, thinly sliced red onion, capers, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and a generous drizzle of high-quality olive oil. A refreshing seafood starter.
Key ingredients
Octopus, black olives, red onion, capers, fresh parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added, as they are sometimes included in octopus salads. Request minimal red onion if concerned about carb count.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Ju lutem, pa patate apo perime me niseshte në sallatë. A mund të përdorni qepë të kuqe minimale?
Please, no potatoes or starchy vegetables in the salad. Can you use minimal red onion?
Watch out for
Potatoes (must be omitted), red onion (if used excessively), potential for sugar in dressing (unlikely in traditional preparation).
