Chayote con Mojo (Estilo Yuca, Keto)
Chayote with Garlic-Citrus Mojo (Keto 'Yuca' Style)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm chayote is used as the base instead of yuca. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
Boiled chayote squash, a low-carb substitute for traditional yuca, topped with a vibrant and tangy garlic-citrus mojo sauce. The mojo is made from olive oil, sour orange juice (or lime), and plenty of minced garlic, offering a refreshing and flavorful keto side dish.
Key ingredients
Chayote squash, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, sour orange juice (or a mix of lime and lemon juice), fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm chayote is used as the base instead of yuca. Ensure no sugar is added to the mojo sauce. Verify it is served as a side, not as part of a carb-heavy meal.
Watch out for
Potential hidden sugars in the mojo (though uncommon); cross-contamination if prepared alongside starchy vegetables.
