Kamren,

That sounds really good. Personally, though, I would change one small thing. Waterchestnuts cause insulin spikes in most folks. Jicama doesn't and is a fraction of the carbs, and tastes very similar. In fact, I prefer the taste over wcn.

Thanks for sharing

Blessings!

Hi -

Your salad sounds great!

I was wondering, what is s/f honey? Are you referring to a syrup?

And where are the sugar alcohols listed in the nutritionals? I don't see any maltitol or sorbital, etc. listed in the ingredients.

Oh, I didn't even see that.

Marcie, they have sugar free honey that is made with malitol syrup. I've never imbibed as I have *consequences* from malitol

The jicama is a good idea....I haven't had problems with the water chestnuts, but for those who do...it would be great.

yes the sugar free honey is malitol...it is just a bit of the honey, but if you have trouble with it, I would just leave it out, or use a bit of Splenda instead.

Gotcha! I haven't seen that.

Yes, I'll skip it, I don't like eating SA if I can help it.
