Curry chicken apple salad with mayo (low tyramine, no soy, no gluten)

This has become my go-to salad for weeks now. As per usual with me, it’s quite simple.

Cucumber, Mango, Chicken, & Mint

This very simple salad doesn’t need much of a recipe: it’s just cooked chicken, cucumber, mango, and mint.

Much like other salads I’ve posted recently, I never found it needed a dressing (which is good, since it’s hard to do many dressings without vinegar, which I can’t have right now). Between the mango and the mint, there’s a lot of flavor in every bite.

It really does need fresh mint and fresh mango to make it work.

This salad keeps for several days.

Vegetarian “Tikka Masala” Dish

This is based on this Skinny Chicken Tikka Masala recipe, but with on what I had on hand (and with veggies in place of chicken). Mom, this one’s for you 😉 Continue reading →

Baa Taco Salad & Chicken Taco Salad

May6

I’ve made two delicious taco salads recently. They were really so different that I should refer to them as two different salads – a baa taco salad (because I had lamb in it – get it?), and a chicken taco salad. But they were similar enough that I think one post will do.
