I looked at this recipe many times before trying it. It sounded great except for the French dressing and the bit of added sugar. After about the 10th time of looking I went ahead and tagged it. I just left the French dressing and bit of sugar out and it was very good indeed :D. I increased the vinegar a bit to help make up for the lack of moisture from the loss of the dressing and found the light tang very nice indeed. Used hot paprika and all in all I really loved the finished salad and think it a keeper. For me my more diabetic friendly version is a 5 star and the single reason that I'm giving a 4 star rating on the recipe is that I omitted a major component that most others will most likely love but I can't honestly rate a recipe that I didn't correctly make.
