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.

Roast Apple, Onion, Celery with Goat Cheese and Raisins

Roast Apple, Onion, Celery with Goat Cheese and Raisins

One week, I went to the store intending to make some recipe I’d found involving stuffing an acorn squash with apple and onion. However, I couldn’t find any good, large, acorn squash at the store. Since I’d already grabbed the apple and onion, I decided to grab some celery as well and make a sort of… stuffing-ish dish, inspired by a Thanksgiving stuffing recipe I’d been looking at recently.

Despite the lack of bread (and since I’m gluten free right now, that’s no coincidence), it really does seem reminiscent of stuffing.

Other than the raisins, it’s also a delicious dish that’s low in histamine and tyramine, which is important for my diet. Raisins are on the no-no list for both histamine and tyramine, but I find a few are ok for me. You can skip the raisins and it’d still be quite good, since the apples still lend it a lot of sweetness.

Beet and Mango Goat Cheese Salad

Beet, mango, red pepper, cucumber, goat cheese salad seen from the side

I love this salad. It’s easy, quick, delicious, and health. The ingredients also keep for half a week, meaning I can buy the ingredients on Saturday and then make it on Wednesday to eat on Thursday and Friday – which is what I’ve done for the past month or so!

It also fits in my newly-difficult diet since it’s both histamine-free and tyramine-free.
