Salatit al-Bandora (سلطة البندورة)
Traditional Arabic Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request *extra olive oil* for higher fat content. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Palestinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A quintessential refreshing salad featuring finely diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green bell peppers, and fresh parsley, simply dressed with fresh lemon juice and ample olive oil.
Key ingredients
Diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green bell peppers, parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, salt.
How to make it keto
Request *extra olive oil* for higher fat content. You can also ask for minimal onion if you prefer to reduce carb count slightly.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
سلطة البندورة بزيت زيتون زيادة، وبصل قليل لو سمحت.
Salatit al-Bandora, please, with extra olive oil and minimal onion.
Watch out for
Carbohydrates from the vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers) can add up in a large restaurant portion. Hidden sugars in the dressing are unlikely for an authentic lemon-oil dressing but possible in some establishments.
