AIP Chicken Shawarma Salad Recipe
"Shawarma is an easy and delicious way to up your salad protein game at lunch while sticking to your AIP diet (autoimmune protocol). With strong flavors that work with just about any meat, it’s hard to get tired of this savory dish. Ditch the pita for some greens to enjoy some AIP chicken shawarma that is sure to keep you going strong until dinner. While this dish makes for a delightfully filling lunch salad, chicken shawarma is a versatile dish. If you don’t purchase a rotating spit for yourself, try grilling shawarma kebabs with seasonal vegetables on a nice summer day."
