I tend to eat a lot of salads with the recipes from the GI Diet Cookbook and sometimes I need to change them up a bit so they don't get boring. I can usually eat something for quite a while before I get tired of it but once I do I am not likely to eat again for months. So I with that in mind I am trying to keep things fresh. This week I am topping off my mixed baby greens with radishes, pumpkin seeds, green onions, feta cheese and cucumber.
So are all of those topping allowed according to the GI diet you might ask.
Radishes - yes
Cucumber - absolutely
Green onions - for sure
Pumpkin seeds - not to sure - pumpkin is listed as a yellow light item. I couldn't find pumpkin seeds so I would assume the seeds would be yellow light as well.
Feta - again I could not find feta on any of the lists but if you are eating cheese it usually has to be a low fat cheese. I admit, mine was not.
So overall this is a healthy salad which seems to have a few yellow light items. Next week I will try to limit myself to only one yellow light item in my salad.
