Great salad
Due to digestive issues my gastroenterologist has told me nor to eat green leafy salads unless I want to experience even more stomach pain than I normally have. I asked if it would make any difference if I chopped it up very fine. He said that smaller pieces would not make a difference.
I can eat green beans, butter beans and green tomatoes but I miss the crunch of a green salad. Any suggestions for substitutions for leafy greens in salads and for all you want to eat veggies? No broccoli either but that’s OK because I don’t like it
Hi, nmsmith. There are other crunchy vegetables that are not leafy, but do take care not to have more than 1 cup (240 ml) or they will need to be counted – note that your menu enables you to have 6 cups a day in any events. Light crunchy non-leafy vegetables include cucumbers, kohlrabi, turnips, radishes, celery, and bean sprouts (the white type).
This is a great salad! I really like it.
What are (exchanges?) As you can see I’m a new member
Hi, Poppy. Exchanges are units of food representing a certain amount of nutrient. They are used as building blocks to put together a balanced menu. The following are the approximate nutritional values of exchanges:
1 carb exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat
Sounds wonderful. Can’t wait to try
Hi, Janey. Each serving yields 3 proteins and 1 vegetable exchange, or about 23 grams of protein, 5 grams of available carbohydrates, and 15 grams of fat.
I am excited to make this salad while it is still so warm here. What are the exchange vales for this lovely dish? JaneyW
