How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that the charqui itself has no added sugar (some commercial versions might). Ensure absolutely no corn, potatoes, or other high-carb vegetables are added to the salad or served as sides.
Watch out for
The charqui itself needs to be verified for no added sugars during its curing process. Traditional Sarza de Charqui often includes potatoes or corn, so explicit modification is required.
