How to make it keto
Omit the croutons entirely. Request the rouille on the side and confirm it does not contain breadcrumbs or other non-keto thickeners. Grated cheese is generally keto-friendly.
Watch out for
Croutons are a major carb risk. Tomatoes contribute some carbohydrates. Some restaurant versions might use flour as a thickener, or add sugar to balance acidity. Ensure rouille is mayo-based without added carbs.
