Gavurdağı Salata
Gavurdağı Salad (without Pomegranate Molasses)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical to ask for 'narekşisiz' (without pomegranate molasses). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and finely chopped salad similar to Shepherd's Salad but elevated with walnuts. It usually includes tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green peppers, and parsley. Crucially, traditional versions often contain pomegranate molasses, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onion, walnuts, fresh parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to ask for 'narekşisiz' (without pomegranate molasses). Request olive oil and lemon juice for dressing.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses (nar ekşisi) is very high in sugar. Tomatoes and onions are higher-carb vegetables, so portion size matters.
