Salad!

I don't each much green during the winter, except for the few brave stalks of kale that have escaped the groundhog ravages, but as soon as it starts to get warm I start eating salad and cannot stop. Yay for salad! For real. Some brief ideas on how to make Paleo-GAPS friendly salads that are still tasty:

Meat--(duh): it's a great way to use up meat from bone broth. Whether beef or chicken, chop very fine. Add

Onions: red, white, sweet, whatever floats your boat. For red onion, I like to slice them very fine; sweeter onions I dice or even cut with scissors. Green onions and chives are also great.

Fresh Herbs: they've got to be fresh on salads. It should be a no-brainer, but trust me if you have doubts. :P

Eggs: Who doesn't get sick of eggs on GAPS? But adding them hard-boiled or even scrambled (just added my daughter's breakfast leftovers: great extra protein boost to make it more filling).

Veggies: Here's where you get to add color, too! Try colored carrots sliced thin, celery, celeriac, fennel, fresh baby artichokes (cooked, of course), peppers, purple cabbage--whatever vegs make your tummy happy.

Dressing: here's the clincher, right?! and here's what I recommend for your delectation:

Olive oil + sea salt

Olive oil + tarragon vinegar

Olive oil + sea salt + fresh squeezed lemon

Olive oil + sea salt + fresh squeezed lemon + fresh minced garlic

Enjoy!
