How Do You Make Atkins-Friendly Japanese Salads?
So you’re on the Atkins diet and are looking for ways to add some culinary variety plus still build in some vegetables and greens without exceeding your carb level. A great way to throw in a change of pace is to try an Atkins approach to some traditional Japanese salads. The traditional Japanese dressing is sunomono (which is a sweet vinegar) but Balsamic Vinegar will do just fine as a substitute. You could also use an unsweetened peanut butter (creamy) as an alternative as well. Both options (the peanut butter without sugar or the balsamic vinegar) are fine with Atkins. There are two easy options: –using Romaine Lettuce or… –using julienned or diced vegetables Romaine Lettuce Salad. Use Romaine Lettuce (rather than seaweed). Take 1-2 radishes per person and run them through the grater. Add 1 baby carrot for the salad (or about 1/2 carrot per person on the diet) and grate as well. Dress with Balsamic Vinegar. You can also take White Vinegar and add some sugar substitute. Julienned
