Key ingredients
Cucumber, tomatoes, onions, radishes (optional), olives, tuna (canned in oil), hard-boiled eggs, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, fresh mint or parsley.
How to make it keto
Request a smaller portion of tomatoes and onions. Ensure no bread is served on the side. Ask for extra olive oil and protein like tuna or eggs.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
سلطة تونسية، من فضلك طماطم وبصل أقل، وبدون خبز. أرغب بزيادة زيت الزيتون وإضافة تونة أو بيض.
For the Salade Tunisienne, please less tomato and onion, and no bread. Could I have extra olive oil and add tuna or eggs?
Watch out for
High volume of diced tomatoes and onions can quickly add up in carbs. Often served as a starter with a basket of bread. Some restaurants might use a dressing with hidden sugars, though less common for this simple salad.
