Gluten Free Living – 2014

We love salads. I make them all the time. Fruit salads, veggie salads, tossed salads, tossed salads with fruit, marinated salads, fluffy fruit salads, pasta salads – we enjoy them all. Salads are one of the foods I enjoy creating. Salads are great summer fare, but we enjoy them all year round even in the dead of winter. I’ve created a collage here of some of our favorite salads.

This collage does not include any fluffy fruit salads, gelatin salads, or salads that contain strictly fruit. This collection contains tossed salads, pasta salads, and marinated salads. Almost every recipe included is gluten free, although only a couple are vegan.

I really love cheese on salads, so if you’re vegan and have a good cheese substitute then almost all of these recipes will work with those substitutions. Only about 10% of these recipes contain meat, but still they are so hearty you may find yourself enjoying them as main dish meals rather than as a side. And, of course, many of these recipes would be great for Meatless Mondays.

Many of these fabulous salad recipes are our family’s favorite recipes, too. I hope you enjoy them and consider trying out many of them. Perhaps some of these great recipes will become your family favorites, too. 🙂
