Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Για την Ταχινοσαλάτα, παρακαλώ επιβεβαιώστε ότι δεν έχει ζάχαρη. Θα ήθελα ωμά λαχανικά χαμηλών υδατανθράκων ή ψητό κρέας για βούτηγμα, όχι ψωμί.
For the Tahinosalata, please confirm no sugar. I'd like it with raw low-carb vegetables or grilled meat for dipping, no bread.
