You would think all salads are healthy, but some can be loaded with hidden fat and sugar. These salads are slimmed down and perfect for a diabetic diet. First is our Spinach with Garlic Vinaigrette.

Use this simple and fast recipe to pair with pasta dishes or a meaty main course. The light, crisp, and tasty blend will accentuate a heavier meal.

View Recipe: Persimmon-Walnut Oil Salad

This simple salad is made special with the use of high-quality ingredients. Choose crisp, globe-shaped Fuyu persimmons, which remain firm even when ripe. The heart-shaped Hachiya persimmon, which does not become sweet until its flesh is quite soft, is better suited for baking.
