🍅 Watch for hidden sugar in balsamic glaze — always choose a sugar-free version or use a small amount of aged balsamic vinegar to keep carbs low.
🧀 Use fresh mozzarella packed in liquid for its soft, milky texture and virtually zero carbs; block mozzarella works in a pinch but lacks the same quality.
🌿 Adjust the tomato-to-cheese ratio to further reduce carbs, or add cucumber ribbons or sliced avocado for extra volume and healthy fats.
