Rather than having a high fat mayonnaise based salad, try a bean based salad instead. This is particularly great for the vegetarians out there as it will provide you with protein and fibre at the same time. While this particular recipe is slightly higher in sugar due to the sauce, you can easily reduce that by using one of the low-sugar alternatives to ketchup and barbeque sauce out there.
