People are not as helpless as they seem, and much more capable than you're giving them credit for. You just made diabetics seem like retarded livestock, which is not the case. Plus, this salad is absolutely delicious, and I'm fairly sure that anyone's tastebuds could enjoy it, and even a child can figure out how to make it. @Choppergirl – Because I didn’t see any smiley faces, or JK, and your tone definitely doesn’t reflect it, I cannot assume that you’re kidding, only that you’re an alien.

Diabetics can't cook, not even a salad, nor could they stomach that... that's why they are diabetics... they've been living off of conveinence foods, because our nationalized education system ripped them away from the farm and home where they use to learn those essential skills, and taught them a bunch of non-essential to survival junk like college prepatory English Literature and Calculus, and never Basic Nutrition and Cooking 101. It was all part of the big scam to make people dependent on grocery stores and packaged food, by in one or two generations robbing these self survival skills out of the masses Orwellian style. And then they could sell and feed them anything they want, and make them dependent to work for them, not self sufficient working on their own farm. Start with taste neutral vegtables you can eat raw and immediatly with no preperation at all. Vegtables with too much taste, we can not handle, its too overpowering, our taste buds have been dulled. Leave out the oil, you will never find olive oil in a diabetics house. Where is that, behind the sweet tea and the Coca Cola? I think not. Plus keep in mind they are not use to so much chewing of that many vegtables in that much quantity. You really have to eat a heck of a lot of vegtables to get the same carbs as a can of soda when requires no chewing at all and comes threw a straw, so its a big switch. Financially as well, because vegtables are not cheap. Many people who are diabetic, my self included for the longest time, simply can't afford good food. Its more expensive. In the long run, yes, its cheaper, because you feel great and better, where as junk food makes you sick and nonfunctional, but off the shelf, these vegtables perish and have a short shelf life, are confusing to operate, are usually non edible unless they are cooked somehow, and cost more than a 3 liter bottle of generic soda for 99 cents, or 10 pounds of white rice for 10 bucks, or a box of spagetti noodles for $2.50 Yeah, you push that plate in front of someone who’s been living off of Dr. Pepper, and they are going to push it back at you with a big ‘yuk!’.

Cherry tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, snow peas, avocado, roasted pine nuts? No way in hell. Gross. Its too exotic, too weird, too yucky tasting, and we don't know a thing about the vegtable section of the super market. We've drunk our lunch out of a soda can for years. I couldn't even tell you what a pine nut was, or where to find one in a grocery store. You must start off with plain simple vegtables that can be eaten with no preperation at all. Cucumbers are my favorite, you just pick one up and eat it (I get them in spades from the family garden). You can also find uncooked spinach leaves in bags, shredded brocolli in bags, carrots, lettuce, cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage in a bag) etc, all in bags in the grocery store ready to eat and tolerable. Fruits that are readily edible are also where to start. Grapefruit has a low index, as well as a handful of unsalted peanuts. Those things we can deal with and are easy to find. Everything else is strange and freaky to us and foreign, or just not available or findable. Smoothies were a good idea, people who are diabetic like to drink their food, but so far I have not been able to pull off the first one and make it work without it tasting like crap and making a mess. So I stick to fiber drink mix. EPIC FAIL – a diabetic is not going to touch that with a ten foot pole. Cherry tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, snow peas, avocado, roasted pine nuts?

That refrigerator drawer is great, I'll make sure my next house comes equipped! You did add a couple of different ingredients to the salad, and to the dressing as well. I guess you consume whatever is handy, which is great. I'm going to follow your lead and either make a salad so huge it can last me 2 days, or precut the ingredients separately the way you do - it's an awesome idea. I officially dropped 11.5 lbs in 7 days (was actually 15 under on day 5), and I have a goal of 20 by October 31st. I think your handy salad/dressing recipe will go great with the rest of my <a href="http://www.alexshalman.com/2008/10/01/eating-habits-for-skinny-robots/" rel="nofollow">mindless exercise routine</a>. @Mark

I know I do. I too like to throw in a few jalapenos every now and again. Easy way to spice things up.

I made this salad. I used all of the ingredients and added some jalapenos. I used raw portabello, and no chicken since I had a grilled breast earlier. I used the ingredients you specified for your dressing. It was absolutely delicious and satisfying -- thank you very much for this new staple in my diet. Btw, this was my very first time eating marinated arthichoke hearts and they're out of this world! Hey Mark.
