The Gluten Free Path

     I think when people hear “gluten free” their brains shuts down. On my gosh was are you going to eat? Salads, one of my favorite things, is one thing that hasn’t changed much. Only a couple of things will change – the croutons and the salad dressing. Just keep it pure, without unnecessary additives and you should be fine.

     What you’ll need for my salad:
● Lettuce – preferably something like romaine
● Grated sharp cheddar and jalapeno jack cheeses
● Slivered almonds – or just finely chop your own
● Dried cranberries
● Gluten free salad dressing (Annie’s Naturals Tuscany Italian is my favorite)

     You can of course add other veggies to the salad like carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, or celery. Usually, I just like lettuce though, it’s quick and easy. Also, when picking a salad dressing be careful. Wheat and other gluten containing grains can sneak into salad dressing when you least expect it. My favorite brand of salad dressing is Annie’s Naturals. Many of those dressing are in fact gluten free. They are so delicious. Rick loves their French dressing. I’m partial, as I said, to the Tuscany Italian dressing.
