Šopska Salata
Shopska Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A refreshing and vibrant salad popular throughout Croatia and the Balkans, made with finely diced fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and red onions. It is generously topped with grated or crumbled Sirene cheese (a brined cheese similar to feta) and dressed simply with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Key ingredients
Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, Sirene cheese (feta-like), extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Naturally keto. Ensure no sugary dressings are used, although this is uncommon for traditional Shopska salad. Moderate portion size if sensitive to carb count from vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim Šopsku Salatu. Molim bez slatkih preljeva. I umjerenu porciju, molim.
I'd like the Šopska Salata. Please ensure no sugary dressings are used. And a moderate portion, please.
Watch out for
While keto-friendly, large portions of tomatoes and bell peppers can accumulate carbohydrates. No other significant carb risks.
