Ajo Blanco (Keto Modified, without bread)
Cold Almond and Garlic Soup (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request it to be prepared *without bread*. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Spanish dishes.
What it is
A refreshing cold Andalusian soup made with blanched almonds, garlic, olive oil, and water, blended to a creamy consistency. Traditionally includes bread for thickness, but can be made keto by omitting it.
Key ingredients
Blanched almonds, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, cold water, sherry vinegar, salt. (Traditionally also includes bread).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request it to be prepared *without bread*. Also, ensure it's served without grapes or melon, which are common high-carb garnishes. Ask for a drizzle of olive oil or a few sliced almonds instead.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the bread traditionally used for thickening. Fruit garnishes (grapes, melon) must be avoided.
