Antipasto Duo ( Exotic Diabetic Recipe )

As the name suggests, this is a combination of two starters, ideally served before a main course of pasta! both these starters are served together as a platter… the paneer is marinated in lemon juice and flavoured with honey and garlic while the vegetables are delectably drenched in herbs and lemon juice. Serve this platter with herbed pizza squares for a sumptuous starter. The interesting combination of lemon, honey and herbs in the dressing is what makes this starter and real five-starrer! however being a little high on the calorie and protein scale, it should be had in restricted serving size and as an occasional treat.
