Summer Salad Ingredients

[pixiegirl]

Every summer I make a great salmon salad the dressing is based on a Ceaser

dressing but I have "other" stuff in it.

I have a gluten-free worschester sauce and dijon mustard but I need fake eggs, you

know the pasturized kind that come in a carton, are any of those gluten-free? I also

need some horseradish, does anyone know a brand that is gluten-free?

I'll grate the parmasen by hand and make gluten-free croutons....

Thanks,

Susan

egg beaters are gluten-free, and the egg whites that are JUST egg whites (forget the name) are also gluten-free.

Thanks very much for the info about egg beaters... I'm making the salad tonight for a cookout here so I really needed that info.... Now if I just knew about a horseraddish.....

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I don't know of a horseradish that isn't gluten-free.

A hint for everybody -- in the future if you're looking for a common product like this and nobody answers in time, simply go to the store and look for a brand by a company that clearly lists gluten. For instance, you would see the Kraft horseradish and read that there is no gluten in the ingredients.

thanks Richard... I do that usually, try to find Kraft's stuff but our grocery store only carries Gold's. I did see on some list it was gluten-free so I used it in the salad and I didn't get any reaction so I'm guessing it was ok.

I've been gluten-free since Sept. last year and occasionally when making things that I've always made.. like this salad dressing, I'm stumped by ingredients that I don't use to often.

I hate taking chances because I get so sick... my last accidential glutening was in May and it took me 2 months to get back to normal.

Gold's is definitely gluten-free. It's the first one I ever bought after going gluten-free.

Horseradish used to be on the list of things to be careful about because of distilled vinegar. It's not something I worry about any more as long as it isn't the creamy version (which I don't like anyway) -- and even that is probably always gluten-free.
