Oktopus Salata
Marinated Octopus Salad (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'no potatoes' (horis patates). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender boiled and marinated octopus, typically served cold with a dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, finely chopped red onion, capers, and fresh herbs. Crucially, any potatoes commonly included in this salad must be omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Boiled octopus, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red onion, capers, parsley or dill, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'no potatoes' (horis patates). Minimize bell peppers if they are typically included in the salad, as they can add up in carbs.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Την Οκταποδοσαλάτα χωρίς πατάτες, παρακαλώ. Και με όσο λιγότερες πιπεριές γίνεται.
I'd like the Oktopus Salata with no potatoes, please. And could you minimize the bell peppers?
Watch out for
Potatoes (major risk, must omit); excessive bell peppers; sugar in pre-made marinades used by some restaurants.
