| 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. Member since 2001 Mars...COOL! http://www.ilovelowcarb.com |

| 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. 400/338/200 |
