GREEK/MIDDLE EASTERN RESTAURANTS
Most Middle Eastern food is diabetic friendly: heavy on vegetables and legumes and low in sugary sauces. Just skip the white rice, spanakopita, and of course, baklava. Salads are a mainstay, and foods such as tabouleh, baba ganoush, and hummus are keepers as long as the pita is axed in favor of veggies. Kebabs and souvlaki also fit the plan.
