How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure no sugar is added to the dressing. If mayonnaise is used, verify it's low-carb or ask for it to be omitted. Request extra butter or healthy oil for a richer fat profile.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the dressing, high-carb mayonnaise if used, generous use of onions.
