How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for NO potatoes and NO green beans. Request the dressing on the side to control portions and confirm it's an oil and vinegar base without added sugar. Limit tomatoes and red onion.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de pommes de terre, s'il vous plaît. Y a-t-il du sucre dans la vinaigrette ? Je la voudrais à part. Et pourriez-vous réduire ou omettre les haricots verts ?
No potatoes, please. Is there added sugar in the dressing? Can I have it on the side? Please reduce or omit green beans.
Watch out for
Potatoes and green beans are traditional components and high in carbs. Tomatoes and red onion contribute carbohydrates, so portion control is important. Some vinaigrettes may contain hidden sugars or high-carb ingredients.
