i love crunchy veggies & low cal options are always a plus. this recipe from chefbarrae caught my eye as a must try. i liked that it is diabetic friendly and think it would be picnic friendly. this dish is easy to prepare and stores well in the refrigerator for at least a week. i plan to try adding additional veggies such as celery and cauliflower too.
