Quinoa Crunch Salad with Peanut Sauce (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This salad is as delicious as it is beautiful! It delivers a great combination of texture, color, and flavor. It’s hearty, healthy, delicious, and very easy to make. The mix of fresh vegetables and vibrant ingredients ensures every bite is a crunchy burst of goodness. If you're watching your carb intake, you can easily omit the quinoa and still enjoy a delicious, flavor-packed salad. Whether you’re preparing it for a family dinner, a potluck, or meal prepping for the week, this salad is sure to be a hit!

Ingredients: Salad

3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup cooked per package instructions)

3 cups shredded red cabbage

2 cups edamame, cooked per package instructions

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded carrots

3/4 cup raw, unsalted sprouted cashews, roughly chopped (AKA activated cashews)

1/2 cup green onion greens, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)

Ingredients: Peanut Sauce

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce

Juice of 1 lime

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Cook the quinoa and the frozen edamame according to package instructions. Once the edamame is cooked, rinse in cold water to stop the cooking. It’s nice to have the quinoa be warm when you are serving—but it’s also good cold. You can prep both of these ingredients ahead of time if you like.

(2) Chop the veggies: Chop the cabbage, bell pepper, green onion greens, cilantro, and cashews. Grate the carrots.

(3) Make the dressing: Put all dressing ingredients in a jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk to blend.

(4) Plate and serve: While you can put all the ingredients in a salad bowl and toss it with the dressing, it makes a beautiful presentation to arrange the ingredients in a colorful wheel on each plate and drizzle the dressing over the top. Either way, it will be delicious.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Greek Chicken Salad (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Keto-friendly • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

This is the perfect follow-up to the Mediterranean chicken skewers I published last week. I had some of the skewers left over and the chicken made the perfect complement to this classic Greek salad. It’s quick to make, and the flavors are fresh and vibrant. If you can get fresh Oregano for the dressing, it’s a delicious addition.

Ingredients: Salad

1 head Romaine lettuce, washed, spun dry, and chopped

4 Persian cucumbers, chopped

1 Roma tomato, chopped

1/2 cup crumbled Feta

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved

2 cups of cooked chicken (my Mediterranean Chicken Skewers are a great choice here)

Ingredients: Dressing

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dry oregano)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and chop the lettuce, cucumbers, and tomato. Chop the cooked chicken.

(2) Make the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk to combine.

(3) Make the salad: Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

(4) Plate and serve: Serve generous portions. No need to add anything else!

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Toss the mushrooms in the butter. Set the cooked mushrooms aside on a plate.

This is the perfect energizing lunch. Protein, fiber, plants, and delicious flavor. It’s light and hearty at the same time. The almonds and celery give it a wonderful crunch while the capers provide a depth of flavor that isn’t always common in a tuna salad. And, capers are an especially good source of antioxidants like quercetin and rutin both of which have been well-studied for their ability to alleviate inflammation, enhance wound healing, and promote healthy blood sugar levels.

1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped

1/2 stalk celery, chopped

2 - 3 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise (or regular mayo is OK too)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon (or more) capers, rinsed thoroughly and roughly chopped

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

6 whole leaves butter lettuce, washed and spun dry

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and spin dry the lettuce. Chop the almonds and celery. Rinse and chop the capers. Drain the water or oil out of the tuna.

(2) Make the salad: Combine all ingredients in a bowl using a fork to break up the tuna and blend the ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.

(3) Plate and serve: Spoon the tuna salad into the lettuce leaves and serve.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-5

This Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad brings bold Cajun flavors together with classic Caesar salad for a delightful combination. The blend of zesty Cajun-spiced chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, savory Parmesan cheese, and homemade Caesar dressing, makes for a truly delicious salad. Whether you're looking for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner option, this salad is sure to become a favorite. 

Ingredients: Chicken

2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless), cut into strips

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

1 - 2 tablespoons Smoke N Sanity Cajun Creole Seasoning (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

Ingredients: Salad

4 cups romaine lettuce

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 cup of my low FODMAP Garlic Parmesan Croutons (optional)

Ingredients: Dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1/3 cup grated parmesan

Directions

(1) Prepare: Make croutons, if using.

(2) Cook the chicken: Cut the chicken into strips, then put it in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil. Heat a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat and, once hot, put 2 tablespoons of garlic-infused olive oil in it. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken in one layer and cook for about 3 minutes until the chicken is starting to brown.

(3) Season the chicken: While the chicken cooks, sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon of Smoke N Sanity Cajun Creole Seasoning. Flip the chicken and do the same thing on the other side. When the chicken is browned and seasoned on both sides, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook until the chicken is just cooked through. For white meat, this may only take a couple of minutes. For dark meat, it may be more like 5-7 minutes. Cut into the thickest part of one piece to see if it’s cooked through (it should not be pink and the juice should run clear). Then remove the chicken from the pan and set it to rest on a plate.

(4) Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients except parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Shake to combine. Add parmesan cheese and shake again. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside in the refrigerator.

(5) Prepare the lettuce: Wash, chop, or tear, the lettuce. If not assembling the salad right away, after washing and spinning dry, put the lettuce in a plastic bag with a paper towel. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Then store in the fridge. Your lettuce will be super crisp and any extra water will be absorbed so your salad will taste its best.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you can keep the lettuce and the dressing in the refrigerator and store the cooled croutons in an air-tight container until you’re ready to assemble your salad.

(6) Prepare salad: Put the lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add about half the dressing. Toss to combine. Add more dressing until it’s to your liking.

(7) Plate and serve: Serve the salad with a generous scoop of chicken, a sprinkle of parmesan, and croutons (if using).

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious.

Ingredients: Salad

4 cups lettuce, washed, spun dry, and torn into bite-size pieces

1 tomato, chopped

1/2 avocado, chopped

1/2 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese, for serving

Low FODMAP hot sauce, for serving

Ingredients: Dressing

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and chop or tear the lettuce. Chop the leek and green onion greens, and mushrooms (if using). Grate the cheese. Make the salad dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a jar and shaking to combine.

(2) Cook the meat: In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the garlic-infused olive oil once the pan is heated through. Add the leek and green onion greens and chopped mushrooms, if using. Finally add the meat, breaking it up and stirring so it all gets evenly browned. Add the salt, pepper, and taco seasoning and continue to stir and cook until the meat is well mixed and cooked through.

(3) Prepare the salad: Add the salad greens, tomato, avocado, and grated cheese to a large bowl. Toss then drizzle with the dressing and toss again.

(4) Plate and serve: On each plate create a bed of salad. Then add the cooked meat and top with the grated cheese. Serve with some low FODMAP hot sauce on the side.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

(Use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount on either Gourmand or Smoke N Sanity products)

1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more for serving

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 cup chopped leek greens

4 - 6 cups low FODMAP chicken broth (I use Whole Foods Organic 365 chicken broth or Gourmend low FODMAP Organic Chicken Broth - use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

12 small new potatoes, thinly sliced

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons gluten-free soy sauce

5 ounces (one package) fresh baby spinach, stems removed and roughly chopped

1 medium zucchini, cubed

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Shaved Parmesan and red pepper flakes (optional) for serving

Ingredients: Italian Sausage Seasoning

3/4 teaspoon fennel seed (lightly crushed)

3/4 teaspoon dry thyme

3/4 teaspoon dry basil

3/4 teaspoon dry oregano

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Chop the leeks and the bacon. Slice the potatoes. Make the Italian Sausage Seasoning.

(2) Cook the meat: Heat the garlic-infused olive in a Dutch oven or heavy soup pot. When the oil is hot, add the Italian Sausage Seasoning and red pepper flakes and let sizzle in the hot oil for about 30 seconds. Then add the ground pork and cook, breaking the pork up as you stir it, until the meat is no longer pink (about 10 - 15 minutes). Remove the cooked pork from the pan and set aside.

(3) Cook the bacon: In the same Dutch oven or soup pot, over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings from the bacon in the bottom of the pan.

(4) Cook the leeks: Stir the chopped leek greens in with the cooked bacon and cook until leek greens are softened, about 3 minutes.

(5) Add broth and potatoes: Stir in the chicken broth and bring just to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and reduce heat to simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.

(6) Finish: Reduce heat to medium; stir in cream, soy sauce, cooked sausage, zucchini, parsley, and spinach. Cook and stir until spinach has wilted and sausage is warmed through (about 3 minutes).

(7) Plate and serve: Serve in bowls with a few grinds of red pepper flakes and shaved Parmesan cheese. Add some sourdough bread or buttered sourdough toast, if you like, alongside.

6 small-medium carrots, chopped

4 celery stalks, chopped

2 tablespoons salted butter

2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (see note)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 teaspoons dry thyme

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 parmesan rind (optional but adds great flavor)

4-6 cups low FODMAP chicken broth (I use Whole Foods Organic 365 chicken broth or Gourmend low FODMAP Organic Chicken Broth - use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

4-6 cups baby spinach (stems removed)

1/2 - 1 cup heavy cream, or lactose-free whole milk

3/4 cup grated parmesan

12 ounces fresh potato gnocchi

Directions

(1) Prepare: Chop the vegetables.

(2) Cook the vegetables: In a large soup pot set over medium heat, add the olive oil and, once hot, add the leek greens. Cook 3 minutes, until tender. Add the carrots and celery. Cook another 3 minutes.

(3) Add the seasoning: Shift the vegetables to one side and add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the flour to the butter and let cook for one minute. Add the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon each of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

(6) Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, cream/milk, parmesan, and spinach, and, once the spinach has wilted down in the broth, add the gnocchi. Cook until the gnocchi are cooked and the soup is nice and warm throughout about 5 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add additional chicken broth.

(7) Plate and serve: Serve the soup topped with parmesan and with some real sourdough bread alongside.

Note: To make your own Italian seasoning, combine 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon dried sage. Store any extra in an empty spice jar or other airtight container.

Vietnamese Pho (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 30 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4-6 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

If you love Vietnamese Pho you’ll really love this easy low FODMAP Pho. This soup is an amazing fusion of Asian spices and vegetables, rice noodles, and rich clear broth. I added a few “extra” veggies to this recipe because I always think there’s room for a few more plants! The wonderful flavors will delight your palate and your tummy. This soup is healthy, delicious, and easy to make so if you haven’t tried making your own Pho, this is the perfect time to do it.

Ingredients: Chicken

2 tablespoons garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds

2 green onions, green part only, chopped

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients: Soup

6 cups low FODMAP chicken broth (I use Whole Foods Organic 365 chicken broth or Gourmend low FODMAP Organic Chicken Broth - use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1/4 cup low sodium gluten-free soy sauce

2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving

2 teaspoons maple syrup

4 green onions (green part only) chopped

6 slices fresh ginger

1-3 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)

1 zucchini, cubed

1 summer squash, cubed

2 cups chopped kale, bok choy, baby spinach, or a combination

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving

8 ounces rice noodles

Mung bean sprouts, fresh basil, chopped avocado, and lime wedges, for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare: Cut the chicken breasts in half or thirds, depending on how big they are, and chop the vegetables.

(2) Cook the chicken: In a Dutch oven or large heavy soup pot, add 2 tablespoons of garlic-infused olive oil and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped green onion greens and the chicken, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side until it starts to brown. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and bring it to a low boil. Turn the heat down and gently boil until the chicken is just cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Remove the chicken to a cutting board, thinly slice, or use two forks to shred it, and set aside.

(3) Prepare the soup: Add 4 more cups of chicken broth to the soup pot so you have about 6 cups of liquid total. Then add the gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, green onion greens, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, and jalapeno pepper (if using). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chopped zucchini and summer squash and simmer for 5 more minutes, or until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir in the chopped greens and 1/2 cup chopped basil. Taste, and add more soy sauce if needed for flavor, or add some hot water (if the broth tastes too salty).

(4) Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

(5) Plate and serve: To serve, divide the noodles between bowls. Add the shredded chicken, then ladle the hot broth over the top. Add bean sprouts, chopped basil, chopped avocado (an unusual addition to Pho but absolutely delicious!), and a generous squeeze of lime juice. If you spot the ginger slices, you can remove them along with the star anise before serving.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

More Deliciously Low FODMAP™ soup recipes

Crispy Cheesy Chaffles (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

Crispy, cheesy, and a perfect substitute for toast with your eggs benedict or avocado toast, buns on your burger, bread on your grilled cheese, crust on your pizza, you get the idea! Five ingredients and a waffle iron are all it takes to have these delicious chaffles. Be creative with the cheese and seasoning you use according to what you have on hand and what you are planning to put on top. Cheddar, gruyere, swiss, mozzarella, or even pepper jack are all great choices for cheese. And Italian, Cajun, Taco, or just plain thyme, rosemary, or basil are all great choices for seasoning. They freeze beautifully and reheat from frozen so make a bunch to have on hand (if they last that long!)

Ingredients

2 large eggs (or 3 medium eggs)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon savory seasoning of your choice (I used Smoke N Sanity Beyond Italian Seasoning, use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1 tablespoon almond flour (optional but helps keep them sturdy for reheating in the toaster)

1 1/2 cups flavorful cheese (I used 1 cup extra sharp cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan, finely grated)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes, until hot.

(2) Make the batter: Whisk together the eggs, baking powder, almond flour and seasoning. Add the cheese and stir until well combined.

(3) Cook: Spoon enough of the chaffle batter into the waffle maker to cover the surface well when the lid closes. (That's about 1/2 cup batter for a regular waffle maker and 1/4 cup for a mini waffle maker.) Close the lid and let cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. (Watch for the steam to stop coming out of the waffle iron, or at least slow way down to indicate they are done.)

(4) Finish: Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker and set aside on a cooling rack to crisp up more. (Cooling is important for crispy texture!) Repeat with remaining batter, if any.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve at room temperature or reheat in the oven or toaster, with your favorite toppings.

Storage: Once you’ve let your waffles cool, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer up to 6 months.

Reheating: Reheat in the toaster, toaster oven, skillet, or conventional oven at 350 degrees F. (You can even reheat right from frozen.) I like to use the toaster, which is the fastest and easiest. Do not microwave as the chaffles will lose their crispiness.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

(2) Cook the chicken: Put a medium-size frying pan over medium-high heat. Put the oil and butter in the frying pan and warm over medium-high heat until the butter melts.

Flip the chicken and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes until it’s nicely browned on the other side. Cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 12 minutes.

Chicken Cobb Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

This salad is simple to make, beautiful to look at, and has the most delicious creamy avocado dressing! It’s a perfect main course dinner for a warm summer evening, or a wonderful hearty side for your next barbecue. Make extra Avocado Caesar dressing because it’s so creamy, flavorful, and thick, it makes a great dip for veggies and crackers as well.

Ingredients: Salad

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons Smoke N Sanity Cajun Creole or Lemon Pepper Seasoning

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

6 cups shredded lettuce

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled

4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered

Ingredients: Avocado Caesar Dressing

1/2 avocado, chopped

3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more to thin the dressing if needed

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped, plus more for serving

1/2 teaspoon Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Cook the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lay out the bacon slices so they aren’t crowded together. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the bacon is crisping, watch closely so it doesn’t burn. Remove from the oven and lay on paper towels to cool. Once cool, chop the bacon and set aside.

(2) Hard boil the eggs: Put the eggs in a saucepan and just cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil on the stove. Turn the heat off and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit in the pan to cook in the hot water for about 10 minutes (longer if you like a very firm yolk). Pour off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until they are cooled. The fresher the eggs, the harder they are to peel after boiling so use eggs that you have had for a little while if you can!

(3) Slice the chicken: You can buy “thin cut” chicken, or slice it horizontally yourself. This will help the seasoning reach more of the chicken and it will cook quite fast on the grill.

(4) Marinate and grill the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil and cajun or lemon pepper seasoning. Set aside until you’re ready to cook. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, turning halfway through cooking, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest on a cutting board while you make the rest of the salad.

(5) Make the dressing: While the chicken is cooking, combine all ingredients in a blender or in a compact food processor and blend until creamy, adding more cream or lactose-free whole milk to thin the dressing if needed. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

(6) Slice the chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and chop the bacon into crumbles.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you may set everything aside in the refrigerator until you’re ready to plate and serve.

(7) Finish: In a large bowl, toss the greens and basil with the dressing.

(8) Plate and serve: Put 1/4 of the dressed greens on each plate, then arrange the chicken, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, and eggs on top. Drizzle with additional dressing if you like. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil and a few grinds of black pepper.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.
