I publish articles on yummy recipes for a diabetic. I try and give you diabetes recipes from different cultures and ethnic groups around the world. Today, it is a mexican delight.

Mexicans love a smoked or barbecued flavour in their food. This corn salad is a good example of that. Fresh corn kernels are grilled over an open flame to impart a burnt-smoked flavour to this salad. Extremely low in calories and fat and high in fibre, this is a perfect choice for diabetics who have high post lunch blood sugar levels.

Tomatoes, onions and capsicum blend extremely well with corn and add vitamins like A and C. The olive oil and real lemon juice dressing adds a tangy flavour and vitamin C that helps to strengthens our immunity.
