yummy GD snack/side dish

I made a delicious tomato cucumber salad to go with dinner. ?It was 2 tomatoes, a cucumber, a healthy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt/pepper & Italian seasoning. ?It was soooo yummy and definitely GD friendly!!! ?It was perfect until DH decided that it needed some vinegar... it is freakin NASTY now.. completely inedible. I am so pissed as I wanted to have it with lunch tomorrow! ?And I am out of tomatoes so now if I want it I will have to go to the supermarket. Ugh.

(BTW I had a huge serving of that, spinach (which is my all-time favorite vegetable!) and 2 peroggies (Sp??) and my sugar was 114 two hours after eating.?

    I love tomato and cucumber salads!  Except like your husband, I also put a dash of red wine vinegar.  I also like to add some thinly sliced red onion and just one clove of finely minced garlic.  So yummy and refreshing in the summer!

    That sounds sooo yummy (vinegar and all!) except tomatoes send my numbers waaaay over.  Apparently they have a bunch of sugar, according to my nutritionist.  Glad it works for you!

    That sounds YUMMY!  I have some cucumbers and tomatoes in my fridge - I think I might make this tonight and have it as part of one of my snacks tomorrow.  Thanks for the idea!

    A SPLASH of vinegar would've been great..... he put a heck of a lot more than a splash!! ?When you taste it, all you taste is vinegar. ?it completely overpowers the rest of the ingredients!!!!! ?Silly DH.....

    And I have to say that my sugars are weird.... things that will kill most diabetics, don't bother me at all. The best example is pasta. ?I can eat a whole bowl of macaroni with any kind of sauce and I am totally fine. ?Put a pizza in front of me, however, and EEK! ?Bad news!?
