These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Quick Superfood Salads - Low Carb
Last night we ran a number of errands and did a bit of shopping after work. We didn't get home until late. I fixed dinner and we ate around 9:00. I snapped a quick photo of our salads and then fell asleep before posting. I used an Eat Smart 7 Superfood Salad Mix and topped it with some chipotle seasoned chicken cutlets that I cut into strips. I made a Cranberry Vinaigrette that was a bit different than my last version. I used apple cider vinegar, some of my cranberry sauce, McCormick's Chipotle Roasted Garlic Seasoning, a pinch of sea salt and avocado oil (instead of olive oil). It was SO good! I used my little dressing Cruet that has the marked fill lines for oil and vinegar and water. I swapped the water for cranberry sauce and just added the seasonings. It was my favorite dressing so far...sweet, tart and yummy with the avocado oil! Check out the photo below. Enjoy!

Loving your recipes . . . . pls tell me what cranberry sauce you use in this dressing. Tks....
Hi Jane,
Thank you! So sorry I forgot to link the recipe for the cranberry sauce -- I went back and linked it to the "word" in my post. I make a very simple cranberry sauce using fresh cranberries (you could also use frozen). Here's the link to the recipe: http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2013/12/cranberry-orange-coconut-sauce.html
