  • GFCF Summer Spaghetti Salad: Recipe of the Week

    This Gluten Free Summer Spaghetti Salad is great as a side dish or as a simple meal in and of itself.




    ½ Pound of Rice Spaghetti broke in thirds
    ½ Red Onion cut in strips
    12 Cherry Tomatoes sliced in quarters lengthwise
    1/3 Cucumber cut in 1 inch chunky strips
    6 Fresh Basil leaves chopped
    12 Asparagus trimmed and cut in ½ inch pieces
    1 TB Minced Garlic
    ¼ Cup Gluten Free Italian Dressing
    Cracked Pepper and Coarse Kosher Salt to taste
    2 Grilled Chicken Breasts (optional) 


    Cook Rice Spaghetti according to package, rinse, and set aside.

    Combine asparagus and garlic in a sauce pan with water and steam. Drain hot water and add cool water to stop the cooking process. Be sure not to drain all of the garlic off the asparagus.
    While asparagus is cooking prepare onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and basil. Set aside.

    Rinse noodles one more time in cold water and place in a large bowl. Add veggies, asparagus, dressing, pepper and salt. Toss and serve as is or topped with grilled chicken breast.

    • About Me: I have side-stepped my professional career to put my energy where it needs to be... with my family. I am the mother of two fantastic, expressive, healthy daughters. Daily they inspire me to be a connected, mindful mother and for that, I am a better person. I am supported in this journey by the most incredible man. He has given me the freedom to be the mother our children deserve. As I spent the past few years orchestrating my daughter’s treatment plan for reversing autism, I collected beneficial data along the way. Interestingly, I have found that many of the changes in our lifestyle have not only benefited her, but the entire family as well. Visit my site: http://www.alterna-mom.blogspot.com/
