Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem arroz, farofa, vinagrete, batatas fritas ou pão, por favor. Prefiro salada verde ou legumes salteados, sem molhos doces.
No rice, farofa, vinaigrette, fries, or bread. I'd like a green salad or sautéed vegetables, no sugary dressings.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (less common for traditional churrasco but possible), hidden sugar in accompanying vinaigrette (often served with diced tomatoes and onions), cross-contamination with carb-heavy buffet items if self-serve.
