How to make it keto
Ask for no pita bread accompaniment. Inquire if any sugar or excessive amounts of high-carb vegetables (like bell peppers or tomato paste) are added, and ask to minimize them if present. Request extra olive oil.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Μελιτζανοσαλάτα, παρακαλώ. Χωρίς πίτα. Περιέχει ζάχαρη ή πιπεριές; Μπορείτε να τα μειώσετε; Έξτρα ελαιόλαδο.
Melitzanosalata, please. No pita. Does it contain sugar or bell peppers? Can you minimize them if so? Extra olive oil.
Watch out for
Pita bread. Hidden sugars or high quantities of tomato paste/bell peppers, which can increase carb count.
