Most of the time my food freedom consists of delicious salads that you would never guess are healthy! For some reason it is just what I crave! Throw together some romaine leaves, protein, all the toppings, and some killer dressing and I am good to go!
While this recipe is not specifically Whole 30 or Paleo, it is super easy to omit some of the toppings that don’t fit into your lifestyle.
Have you guys ever roasted chickpeas? They are seriously delicious and serve as a great replacement for a crouton if you are really missing that crunch on top of your salad.
I don’t often eat salami. In fact before I made this salad, I probably hadn’t had any in years. But isn’t that what food freedom is truly about? Listening to what sounds good to your body on that day at that time. Was this salami Whole 30? Definitely not. But I made the best choice available to me and enjoyed it without any guilt.
Finished this salad off with all the artichoke hearts, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and my homemade dairy free tzatziki dressing.
