Patriotic Potato Salad (Low FODMAP)

30 Minutes prep • 2 hours chill • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

I have loved this potato salad since Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso published it decades ago in their Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook. I have made very slight modifications to the recipe for all of you to enjoy. It’s a wonderful potato salad for any occasion, and it’s even better the next day so it’s a great make-ahead time saver. The name came from the fact that the salad creates a confetti effect that anticipates a celebration.

Ingredients

14 small new red potatoes, scrubbed clean

6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered

1 - 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and grated

1 bunch green onions, green part only (chopped)

3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup lactose-free sour cream

3/4 cup mayonnaise

Directions

(1) Prepare: Hard boil the eggs. Wash potatoes and cut larger potatoes in half so they are all about the same size. Peel and grate the carrot(s). Chop the green onion greens.

(2) Cook the potatoes: Heat a medium-size saucepan of water to boiling. Add the potatoes and cook just until tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut in half.

(3) Make the salad: Combine the eggs, potatoes, carrots, and green onion greens in a large bowl. Add the dill, parsley, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine.

(4) Blend and add the sauce: Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise and gently fold into the potato mixture.

(5) Finish: Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

(6) Plate and serve: Stir, taste, and add a bit more salt if needed. Serve alongside any grilled meat or fish.

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.

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!

Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps (Low FODMAP)

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

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.

Ingredients

1 can skipjack tuna or yellowfin tuna in water or olive oil (these iare lowest in mercury but you can use any variety you like)

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. 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.

Green Salad with Asian Vinaigrette (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegetarian • Vegan • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

As Autumn sets in with its hearty feasts, it's a refreshing change of pace to balance the table with a simple, delightful salad. Elevate your salad experience by experimenting with diverse dressings. This uncomplicated dressing has the power to transform an ordinary green salad into something truly extraordinary.

Ingredients: Salad

3 cups lettuce (I combined red leaf and romaine)

3 Persian cucumbers, sliced

1 tomato (I use “on the vine” for the freshest taste)

1/2 avocado

2 ribs celery

2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped (optional for serving)

1 green onion, green part only, chopped for serving

Ingredients: Asian Vinaigrette

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1/8 cup red wine vinegar

1-2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a pint jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk to combine. Set aside.

(2) Prepare the lettuce: Wash, tear it into bite-size pieces, and spin dry the lettuce. If you’re not putting your salad together right away, put the clean lettuce in a plastic bag with a paper towel. Squeeze the air out of the bag and twist it to seal and keep the air out. Put the sealed bag in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble your salad. This will give you the most crisp and delicious lettuce possible! And it keeps for a couple of days so you can wash a bunch and store it this way and just use a little a time.

(3) Prepare the rest of the vegetables: Wash and slice the cucumbers (peeling them is optional), and wash and chop celery and tomatoes. Chop the peanuts and the green onion greens.

(4) Finish: Add lettuce to your salad bowl with the cucumber and tomato slices. Toss to combine. Chop or slice and add the avocado. Drizzle with the dressing. Toss once more just to combine. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and green onions. And serve right away.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

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. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Simply Delicious Tuna Salad (Low FODMAP)

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

Tuna is a wonderful protein source full of important omega 3’s. And, it’s easy to keep on hand in your pantry. It’s also one of those foods we often forget about so this recipe should serve as a reminder to get that tuna out of the pantry and make something delicious! There are all kinds of tuna options available in the grocery store now that are quite delicious. I use Yellow Fin Tuna, or Skipjack Tuna to ensure a low mercury content. This recipe includes chopped celery and almonds for some crunch and green onions for some added flavor and color. I served it on a bed of mixed greens with some hard-cooked eggs alongside and it made a perfect summer supper.

Ingredients

5-ounce can Yellow Fin Tuna, or Skipjack Tuna, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

1 green onion, green part only, chopped

1/4 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped

1/2 stalk celery, chopped

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Mixed salad greens and chopped veggies, for serving

Hard-cooked eggs, optional, for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare: Chop the green onion greens and the almonds. Drain the liquid off the can of tuna.

(2) Combine: Combine tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onion greens, almonds, celery, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and use a fork to blend. Don’t over mix so you keep some of the form of the tuna.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you may cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store the mixture in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

(3) Prepare your greens and veggies: Wash and dry the lettuce and chop the veggies you want to include. Then make a bed of greens and veggies on each plate.

(4) Plate and serve: Put a scoop of tuna salad on top of the greens. Serve alongside a couple of hard-cooked eggs or a piece of toasted sourdough bread.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Walnut Gorgonzola Salad (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Vegetarian • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This is a wonderful salad that is a nice change from the standard fare. The combination of the walnuts and the walnut oil gives the salad a rich and delicious flavor that is balanced by the sweet balsamic vinegar and the tangy gorgonzola. I used a combination of spinach, arugula, and romaine (for some crunch), but you could use spring mix or whatever you like. Enjoy this salad as a vegetarian main course or as a perfect side for grilled meat (steak in particular!)

Ingredients: Salad

4 cups mixed salad greens (spring mix or a combination of what you have on hand)

1 green onion (green part only) finely chopped

3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

4 ounces of gorgonzola crumbles

1 medium stalk of celery, sliced (optional)

Ingredients: Walnut Vinaigrette

1/4 cup roasted walnut oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and spin dry the lettuce. Chop the green onion greens, the celery (if using), and the walnuts.

(2) Make the dressing: Put all dressing ingredients in a small jar or bowl and shake or whisk to combine.

(3) Make the salad: Layer the salad greens in the bowl and then add the rest of the salad ingredients.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you may put the whole salad bowl in the refrigerator for an hour or two until you’re ready to serve.

(4) Add the dressing: Drizzle with about half the dressing. Toss and taste. Add more dressing if you like.

(5) Finish: Sprinkle lightly with about 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

(6) Plate and serve: Serve on its own or as a delicious side for grilled beef, chicken, or pork.
