Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans pommes de terre, s'il vous plaît. La vinaigrette est-elle simple huile et vinaigre, sans sucre ajouté? Veuillez omettre les croûtons.
No potatoes, please. Is the dressing a simple oil and vinegar vinaigrette with no added sugar? Please omit croutons if any.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the traditional inclusion of potatoes. Tomatoes and green beans contribute some carbs; large portions should be noted. Hidden sugar in dressings is also a concern.
