Default Better numbers with salad.

This doesn't make sense to me because the carb count is about the same as
with other meals I eat, but when I eat this salad, my numbers are lower. I
get it at the salad bar. I take a very small amount (1 cup or less total)
of assorted leave such as mesclun, romaine and spinach. Then I top it with
a good layer of carrots, grape tomatoes, black olives and green onions. I
add a couple of large spoonfuls of kidney beans, garbanzo beans and four
ears of baby corn. In addition, I have a small container of tabouli. I
will often eat a handful of walnuts with this meal. Just salt and pepper on
it. No dressing.
