Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de pommes de terre ni de lentilles s'il vous plaît. Juste une salade verte nature avec huile et vinaigre à part. La vinaigrette est-elle sans sucre ajouté ?
No potatoes or lentils please. I'd like a plain green salad with oil and vinegar on the side. Is the vinaigrette sugar-free?
Watch out for
Traditional potato accompaniments are high in carbs. Hidden sugars in pre-made salad dressings.
