Sauerkraut and carrot salad

I did not make this recipe so I had to give it one star. There is a lot of sugar in this recipe so, as a diabetic, I know I can not go with it. Three tablespoons of sugar plus carrots is a lot. Plus, if you look at the nutritional chart the sodium is way high, for anyone. One viewer said she added maple syrup - more sugar. Not complaining, just a caution note as to nutrition., so don't blast me. Eat all your heart desires. - 21 Sep 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Definitely must try this. My family loves everything in this, and I've had something similar before. Don't be afraid to try something new. If you like the basic ingredients, there's a good chance you will really like it. And it's good for you! - 21 Sep 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
