Sardinhas Assadas com Salada Verde
Grilled Sardines with Green Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
Fresh whole sardines, generously seasoned with sea salt and grilled over charcoal until the skin is crispy and the flesh is tender. While traditionally served with boiled potatoes, this keto-friendly version focuses on the rich, omega-3 packed sardines paired with a simple green salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
Key ingredients
Whole sardines, sea salt, olive oil, mixed green lettuce, cucumber, red onion (thinly sliced), red wine vinegar.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no potatoes are served. Ask for a simple green salad with olive oil and vinegar on the side, explicitly avoiding any pre-made sugary salad dressings.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batatas cozidas, por favor. A salada verde, só com azeite e vinagre, sem molhos doces.
No boiled potatoes, please. For the green salad, just olive oil and vinegar, no sugary dressings.
Watch out for
Potential sugary salad dressings. Small amounts of onion in the salad.
