I am working on changing my eating habits since my Dr. told me a week ago, that I'm pre diabetic. She's giving me 6 months to change my lifestyle and lose weight. I am walking and trying to eat healthier.

Very good salad but the dressing is too sweet. Next time I will cut suGar in half. Served with Publix oven baked chicken tenderloins. Very good.

This doesn't seem like enough oil and vinegar to the amount of sugar...does everyone follow the recipe exactly or cut down on the sugar?

Sounds great will certainly make. BUT, it really upsets me when I see all you folks cut off 1/4 of the top of the strawberry. All you have to do is take a INEXPENSIVE spud peeler and put it in the end. go around and it takes out the core and the stem, Which in tern saves your strawberry Try it, you will LIKE it. !!
