Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Za Šopsku Salatu, molim vas da je dresing samo ulje i sirće, bez dodanog šećera.
For Šopska Salata, please ensure the dressing is just oil and vinegar, with no added sugar.
Watch out for
Potential for hidden sugars in non-traditional dressings (uncommon for authentic Shopska). Too much onion can add moderate carbs.
