Very cool and refreshing! Also delicious served with nuts (2 tablespoons / 14 g = ½ protein + 1 fat exchange). Quantity can be increased for an impressive salad to serve as a appetizer at a dinner party.

    Hi, Linda. Click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu to see how many exchanges you have for lunch, then slip this in instead of whatever is on your menu. If you want only this for lunch, you can have 3 servings as a complete meal substitute; otherwise, you can have a serving with a sandwich or small serving of an entree and starch.
