This sounds wonderful…. but do you have any info on the CARBS… I am just starting on a LOW carb diet, so any info you can give would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks
How is this a side dish? What on earth would you have as the main?
Unique and innovative- a great twist on an old favorite- and thanks for the WW information ( not everyone does that- it’s so helpful!)
I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
How much is in a serving?
This salad makes 8 servings, so 1/8 is a serving. I don’t have the exact measurements in weight.
I can’t wait to try this! I am lactose intolerant so need to modify the dressing to omit sour cream. Any ideas?
Hi!
I am pretty sure that I’ve seen Plant-Based Sour Cream sold at grocery stores. Maybe try that? Or a non-dairy yogurt.
Also, while I don’t have a recipe for homemade dairy free sour cream, I do know that some people make it with cashews. A google search should return some results on that.
Looks delicious and so easy to make! !
Colorful, healthy and spot on delicious! I’m definitely making this!
