  • Cut the apple into quarters, slice thinly and sprinkle with just enough lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
  • Serve with the salad dressing on the side.

Notes:
- The high GI carrot is a minor ingredient and goes well with all the other low GI vegetables.
- To make a Greek Salad, add 3 matchboxes of low fat Feta Cheese, and 12 olives.

- The high-GI carrot is a minor ingredient and goes well with all the other low-GI vegetables. Note that the GI is still <25!

Slimmers remember to compensate for the cheese (protein) in the greek salad. Eat less protein in the same meal.
