My Type of Greek Salad
Try to choose different kinds of colorful vegetables, in order to get a variety of phytochemicals for better gut and immune health.
Increasing fibers intake helps to achieve tighter glycemic control for patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, and insulin resistance.
So here I have:
- 2/3 a cup of shredded red cabbage.
- 2 small green onions.
- 4 small cucumbers.
- 1/2 a cup of heirloom tomatoes.
- 1 medium juicy vine-ripened tomato.
- 1/2 of yellow pepper.
- 1/4 of red pepper
- 1/4 of orange pepper.
- 2-3 small radishes.
- Fresh mint leaves (the tastiest part!)
- 2.5 oz of Greek Feta cheese.
I get the authentic Greek feta cheese, made mainly from sheep’s milk (not as crumply and delicious).
As for the dressing:
- 1 tbsp extra virgin Sicilian olive oil
- 2.5 freshly squeezed lemon.
- A sprinkle of Himalayan salt.
The total macronutrient composition in the salad would be 525 Kcals, 22 grams of protein, and 13 grams of fibers.
Here you go, I hope this was delicious!
Bon appétit et Bonne santé
