SHAMROCK SALAD
A diabetic recipe I found on the dLife web site. Change the flavor of jello and cookie cutter you use and you have a Valentine, Halloween or a Christmas salad. I can even see this used for a baby shower and use a baby bottle cookie cutter. Use your imagination for the celebration you want to use it for.
