Espárragos con Mayonesa
Asparagus with Mayonnaise
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Chilean dishes.
What it is
Fresh, tender asparagus spears, lightly steamed or boiled until crisp-tender, served chilled with a generous dollop of creamy, full-fat mayonnaise. A simple, classic, and refreshing Chilean appetizer or side dish.
Key ingredients
Fresh asparagus, mayonnaise (typically made with egg yolk, oil, vinegar/lemon juice, salt), salt.
Optional tweaks
Confirm asparagus is simply steamed or boiled, not cooked with additional sauces containing sugar or flour. Ensure mayonnaise is traditional, full-fat, and not a low-fat or sweetened commercial version.
Watch out for
Sweetened mayonnaise (less common in Chile but always a potential risk). Some restaurants might include other higher-carb vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots) as garnish, which should be avoided or minimized.
