Tarama (Fish Roe) Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Israeli dishes.
What it is
A creamy and savory dip or spread made from salted and cured fish roe, typically mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and sometimes bread (but can be made without). A classic Mediterranean appetizer.
Key ingredients
Fish roe (e.g., carp or cod), olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Request the salad to be prepared without bread or mashed potato as a filler (some versions might use it, though traditional tarama relies on the roe itself). Ensure it's served without pita or bread for dipping.
