AIP Waldorf Salad
AIP Waldorf Salad
"If you eat the same salad every day, it’s easy to become bored. Fortunately, this AIP waldorf salad offers an amazingly unconventional lunch or dinner option. Perhaps the signature feature of a traditional waldorf salad is its mayonnaise base. To make this version AIP-friendly, I created a homemade dressing that pairs nicely with apples, celery, and grapes. Coconut Dressing It’s waldorf gone tropical! This special dressing is made by combining coconut cream with lemon juice. This combination may curdle on you at first, but if you’re bothered by that possibility go ahead and make a larger batch and emulsify it with a hand blender. Lactose intolerant or just generally dairy-free folks are already wise to using coconut milk to make safe salad dressings. Now you can too!"
