Here’s a super-food salad packed with antioxidants and bright, summery flavors from Karen Koeppe, Packard Health’s Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Educator.

Pair it with a grilled chicken dish or fish. “I really love it with white balsamic vinegar,” says Karen.  The recipe is from the American Diabetes Association “Food Hub” recipe collection, Karen’s go-to source for healthy eating. Check it out: https://www.diabetesfoodhub.org/
