Salata od hobotnice
Octopus Salad
Yes, with a tweak: the most crucial modification is to explicitly ask for 'bez krumpira' (without potatoes), as potatoes are a very traditional component. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A refreshing salad featuring tender, cooked octopus, often mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, red onion, bell peppers, and fresh parsley.
Key ingredients
Cooked octopus, olive oil, lemon juice, red onion, bell peppers (often red or green), fresh parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
