Ensalada Rusa (Keto, sin papas)
Keto Russian Salad (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: no potatoes. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A creamy salad, a staple in Venezuelan cuisine during holidays, traditionally made with diced potatoes, carrots, peas, and mayonnaise, often with shredded chicken or tuna. For a keto version, the defining potatoes are strictly removed. A very small amount of carrots and peas can be included for flavor, but often omitted for stricter keto. Hard-boiled eggs and protein form the base.
Key ingredients
Mayonnaise (ensure sugar-free), shredded chicken or tuna, hard-boiled eggs, very small amount of diced cooked carrots and peas, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no potatoes. Request minimal carrots and peas, or omit entirely. Confirm that the mayonnaise used is sugar-free.
Watch out for
Potatoes (main risk), carrots, peas, sugar in mayonnaise. Some restaurants might add other high-carb ingredients.
