Ingredients

Mixed greens

Persian cucumber

Button mushrooms

White onion

Small tomato on vine (not a cherry and idk the name)

Sautéed yellow squash with butter

Roasted brussels and onions with turmeric and paprika

Sliced turkey meat (Sliced like they used to in chef's salads)

I stopped at my Aunt and Uncle's house today to visit. I saw their new, adorable kitty Spark and some gorgeous chives in the garden that inspired this salad. Thanks Jen! I never ate a chive flower before. It's pungent (dry heat) and slightly bitter so very good for digestion. There are a few items in the salad that are raw and a few items that are cooked.

My glucose levels have been the best the last 7 days so on the Freestyle Diabetes app I moved my target glucose range down to 70-120. I was reading there are kids who practice low-carb eating and have 4.5-5.0 A1C's! Visit www.dietdoctor.com to see some of the inspiring stories.
