Grilled Pork or Chicken Skewers with Salad (No Pita/Fries)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no pita bread, no fries (patates). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Succulent pieces of marinated pork or chicken, grilled on skewers to perfection. A staple street food, served keto-style with a generous side salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, lettuce) and tzatziki, strictly without pita bread or fries.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder or chicken breast/thigh, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, pepper. Served with side salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, lettuce, olive oil) and tzatziki.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no pita bread, no fries (patates). Ask for extra salad, and be mindful of tomato/onion quantity in the salad for carb count.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Για τα Σουβλάκια, χωρίς πίτα ή πατάτες τηγανητές, παρακαλώ. Μπορώ να έχω έξτρα σαλάτα; Παρακαλώ με λίγη ντομάτα και κρεμμύδι.
For the Souvlakia, no pita or fries, please. Can I have extra salad instead? Please go easy on the tomatoes and onions.
Watch out for
Pita bread, fries, large portions of tomato/onion in salad, possible sugar in marinade (less common for traditional souvlakia).
