Healthy Cooking Tips
This recipe was already a winner, with plenty of veggies and fiber-rich strawberries and just a small amount of (heart-healthy) oil. The only change needed was to decrease the sugar in the dressing
to lower the carbohydrate count (and reducing the vinegar a little to compensate). With all those naturally sweet strawberries, you’ll never miss the sugar!
