Key ingredients
Cooked beef/chicken, hard-boiled eggs, cucumber, radish, fresh dill, green onion, sour cream, water/broth (or sugar-free kefir/buttermilk substitute), vinegar/lemon juice, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially omit kvass (fermented bread drink) and potatoes. Ensure the liquid base is water, broth, or a sugar-free dairy alternative. Request ample sour cream.
Watch out for
Kvass is very high in carbs. Potatoes are a common ingredient. Some commercial kefir or buttermilk may contain hidden sugars. Radishes and cucumbers contribute some carbs but are generally keto-friendly in moderation.
