[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Seven Layer Salad - 1g Fiber, 8g Net Carbs

 

Seven Layer Salad - 1g Fiber, 8g Net Carbs

From: George Stella's Good Carb Family Cookbook - Recipe by Mary Beth Guard
Mary Beth and Michael Guard are great friends in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! A few years ago they invited me for a weekend at their home where together with her friends we shopped, cooked and ate all types of wonderful low carb dishes. Mary Beth, being quite the gourmand, made and presented us this wonderfully delicious and very impressive seven layer salad that she has so graciously agreed to share.
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 0 min
Serves: 16

2 bags slaw mix OR 1 head white cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (may use 3⁄4 cup crumbled bleu cheese)
1 green OR red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 head cauliflower, chopped or thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 lb bacon, freshly cooked until crispy and large crumbled
2 cups cooked boneless chicken breast, shredded or cubed

  > DRESSING
2 cups mayonnaise
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar substitute
1 tsp Beau Monde seasoning (available in spice section of market)

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: large, clear glass "Truffle" or salad bowl

1. Add the dressing ingredients to a bowl and mix well.

2. Toss the cabbage with the dressing and place in the bottom of the bowl as the first layer followed in order by the cheese, peppers, cauliflower, onion, bacon and chicken. Serve from the bottom up so the dressing from the cabbage reaches the other ingredients.

George's Tips: You may leave the chicken out if using this salad as a side dish and this salad can be made the day before as it keeps well for several days refrigerated. A cheese grater works perfectly to chop the cauliflower into tiny pieces!
