For diabetics, this salad is a lifesaver. Tomatoes are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels. Fresh basil not only adds flavor but also has anti-inflammatory properties. The dressing, sweetened with a natural sweetener, provides a hint of sweetness without causing a spike in blood sugar levels. This salad is a delicious way to keep your sugar levels in check while enjoying a refreshing summer treat.
