How to make it keto
Ask for no farofa, rice, bread, corn on the cob, or other starchy sides. Request a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing or grilled vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, zucchini) if available and not sweetened. Confirm marinades are sugar-free.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem farofa, arroz, pão, milho ou outros acompanhamentos com amido. Pode ser uma salada verde simples com azeite e vinagre, ou vegetais grelhados? As marinadas não têm açúcar?
No farofa, rice, bread, corn, or other starchy sides. Can I have a simple green salad with oil and vinegar or grilled vegetables? Are marinades sugar-free?
