Becky - Thanks for the idea. However, the dressing for the salad requires 1/3 a cup of sugar...would that be considered diabetic friendly?
 
It is a bit sugary... but you could probably substitute the sugar with Splenda. In that recipe, I don't believe the sugar is necessary for structural reasons, just to sweeten up the taste.

I've had hosts use Splenda with no noticeable difference in taste.
