Chef Salad

[TheMasterMind776]

I made myself a chef salad tomorrow for lunch with Marie's dressing. The dressing is fine. But, I have Margherita Genoa Salami cut into the salad. I know a lot of times salami is cured with sugar. I'm just wondering if anybody has any input on this.

Re: Chef Salad

Did you already put the dressing on the lettuce?

Most lettuce doesn't really do well being saved once it's been "dressed".

No, I have it a cup to the side.

Is the one you have cured with sugar?

It's impossible to say how it will affect you.

I would use some unprocessed meat instead... not only for weight loss reasons.

Re: Chef Salad

I did a google search on Margherita Genoa Salami and it says 0 carbs 0 sugar. But, I am worried about the fine print which I couldn't see on the website to see if it was cured with sugar. A friend bought a pound for me and I don't want to throw it out, but I also don't want to eat it if its going to cause stalls.

It's the list of ingredients that tells the tale.

I would bet that there's some form of sugar involved. I can't say that I've ever seen one that isn't.

And it's still a processed meat ... which should be limited.

I wouldn't make it a regular part of my eating ... but I wouldn't throw it out.

Re: Chef Salad

The Genoa Salami in my fridge has dextrose as its third ingredient but listed as zero carbs for 30 gr (1 oz)
Limited is probably how I would go too.
