Montenegrin/Shopska Style Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Balkan salad, similar to Shopska salad, made with fresh diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and often bell peppers, topped with a generous layer of grated sirene or feta-style cheese. Dressed simply with olive oil and vinegar.
Key ingredients
Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, sirene/feta cheese, olive oil, vinegar (optional), salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary dressings are used (it's typically just oil and vinegar). If vinegar is used, ensure it's plain white or apple cider vinegar, not balsamic (which can have added sugar).
Watch out for
While traditionally low carb, some restaurants might use dressings with added sugar, or balsamic vinegar which can be high in sugar. Ask for olive oil and lemon juice if unsure about the dressing.
