Here is my diabetic corned beef recipe. I love corned beef and cabbage, but the dish is a difficult one to make healthy. The big problem is that when the beef is corned, it takes on a massive amount of salt. I mean a truly ridiculous amount. There really isn’t a whole lot you can do about it.
So, if you are on a low sodium diet, you may want to check out some of the other slow cooker recipes on this site.
One major change I did to this recipe is that I eliminated the potatoes and substituted rutabaga. I know all you traditionalists out there are going to be calling the change sacrilege. How can you possibly have a corn beef and cabbage recipe without potatoes? Just try it. You may actually like it.
