When I make salad I sometimes put cranberries in it or raspberries/blackberries I will put fruit in my salad with grilled chicken chunks or tuna/salmon is that weird and does anyone else drink carbonated water with lemon juice and splenda or crystal light with carbonated water?

I don't like fruit on salads apart from a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. I love a warm salad of sauted veggies on leaves such as sliced peppers, aubergine, asparagus, mushrooms with a drizzle of lemon oil.

Before I was diagnosed with an egg allergy I had a weird thing of just not being able to eat a chicken salad with egg on it - just wrong lol

Bigotry, reliance on unsupported 'facts', unkindness, unfairness.
I love fruit with salad, and with some savoury meals. Dates are great with grated carrot, beetroot, apple, seeds, lettuce, herbs and nuts. I make it myself, weighing and carb counting each item except the lettuce and I pre bolus for the dates. After seeing a previous post on high GI food I’m going to see what a split bolus does with this kind of salad.
