    Simple Tomato and Cucumber Salad (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This fast and delightfully fresh salad is a staple in my kitchen throughout the year, but particularly during the summer months I know affectionately as "tomato-heaven." You can mix it up by using cherry or plum tomatoes, or whatever tomatoes rate handy. The dressing offers a nice balance of tart and sweet; it’s a good one to keep on hand. Feel free to omit the chili flakes if you’re not a fan, or even substitute with a little dill.

    Ingredients:
    3 large tomatoes
    1 large cucumber
    2 bell peppers, red or yellow
    1 red onion
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese
    ½ cup red whine vinegar
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon honey
    ½ cup olive oil
    1 teaspoon red chili flakes
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Directions:
    Dice all vegetables into similar size and mix together in a large bowl.

    For the dressing, combine vinegar, mustard and honey. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Pour over vegetables and sprinkle with chili flakes.

    Top with cheese, taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Soups make wonderful lunches and double as light dinners. They’re also a great way to introduce almost any meal. This recipe calls for the soup to be partially blended which creates a creamy texture while still maintaining a rustic quality.
    You could easily blend the entire pot with a hand-held blender or in batches depending on the size of your blender or food processor. Whatever your preference, never bring your soup to a boil; nothing ruins the flavor quicker. Whether served warm in the winter or chilled in the summertime, make it a point to stock up on corn to try this is an always-tasty, go-to chowder.
    Ingredients:
    3-4 large ears of corn
    5 cups milk
    2 large Russet potatoes, diced
    1 medium onions, diced
    3 celery stalks, diced
    5 slices bacon, chopped

    Celiac.com 02/17/2015 - Homemade bone broth is a great foundation for a healthy diet, and helps to promote gut healing, and overall health.
    Simmering animal bones and marrow, feet, tendons, and ligaments in water for one or two days turns collagen into gelatin, and produces a rich complex soup of amino acids and highly absorbable minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, silicon, phosphorus, along with trace minerals.
    For best results use organic pasture raised, or free-range chickens. Many commercially-raised chickens produce stock that does not gel properly.
    Ingredients:
    1 whole free-range chicken or 2 to 3 pounds of bony chicken parts, such as backs, breastbones, necks and wings 2-4 chicken feet gizzards from one chicken 4 quarts...
