The iconic sandwich of New Orleans, deconstructed: this grain-free salad looses the bread and keeps all the good stuff. If you miss the bread, toss in some torn croutons, ideally made from seeded Italian bread. Other swaps: we got rid of the meat, upped the beans, …
Soda bread is the traditional bread of the Irish holiday, studded with currants and baked in a freeform loaf. We Paleo-fied this one by using ground almonds instead of flour, then added chia and flax for protein and binding. Use a spice mill or coffee …
Roasted kale leaves are a fast, appealing way to serve kale; these have a cheese-like coating that adds protein and healthy fats. These use curly kale, but Tuscan kale is also nice, since the leaves are flat and cook more evenly; serve them upright in a squat, …
