Have any easy and fast salad recipes?

I've recently been diagnosed with Celiac Sprue and can't consume any gluten. I've bought some gluten-free foods but are expensive and I have to get use to the tastes. The one thing I can eat all the time are fresh fruits and veges. I've basically been eating vege salads. Can anyone suggest fruit salads that you like. Something besides just cutting up some fruits and throwing them into a bowl. Are there fruits salads with dressings or healthy dips? Has anyone combined fruits with veges? I can eat chicken and turkey so I'm also looking for a salad recipe that I can add that to. Thanks for your help!Have any easy and fast salad recipes?

Romaine lettuce premade salads are great for add ons I added toasted pine nuts, bacon bits, shredded cheese, tomatos, cucumbers, green onions and topped it off with jalepeno ranch dressing. Grilled chicken is really good on it.

Greetz, I hope this helps you a little....

How about making Chinese stir fry with chicken.


Now I know not everyone has a Wok like myself, but a large cast iron skillet will do.


Chop one onion, 2 cloves garlic, place into oiled pan on medium heat.


You will then add veggies that you like, remember to put in the harder veggies first as they take longer to cook, celery, sliced carrots,mushrooms bean sprouts , water chestnuts etc.


Remember to keep them moving around and dint over cook them. Add some pre cooked chicken if you like.


For the sauce, if you are inexperienced I suggest buying a bottled Teriyaki from the market , dont add too much.

the celiac sprue association has a website with recipes and this one looks really good!

Fruit Salad





1 large can of fruit cocktail (do not drain)


1 large can of pineapple chunks (drain)


2 small cans of mandarin oranges (drain)


1 large package of instant vanilla pudding


1 8 oz container of cool whip





Sprinkle the instant pudding over fruit cocktail, stir until the pudding dissolves. Add pineapple chunks and oranges. Mix well. Fold in cool whip and chill before serving.





*I always use the 'lite' fruit, fat free/sugar free pudding and fat free cool whip. It still tastes great!
Cut whatever vegetables you like like cucumber, lettuce, tomato, red and yellow pepper (capsicum) you can even add boiled chiken pieces and add the 'Knorr ' salad seasoning packet of(vinega with garlic) which you can find at any supermarket or grocery and add maybe one tablespoon according to the amount of cut stuff and toss it well, its really yum!!!
