For American Diabetes Association Alert Day, Try this St. Patrick's Day Recipe

Here is one of the best St. Patrick’s Day recipes you’ll ever try: St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage Salad. Inspired by the traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and cabbage, and the fact that March 24 is American Diabetes Association Alert Day, here’s a chopped salad that’s fresh, light and packed with flavor. 

Unlike the classic one-pot boiled meal, our one-bowl delight is heavy on vegetables and light on meat. All in all, it’s a diabetes-friendly dish that’s hearty, healthy and less than 400 calories a serving.
