Gluten Free Caesar Salad

I have a few salads that we make and this one is always a favorite.  Caesar always sounds hard but it is really easy.

What you will need:
Anchovies or anchovy paste (optional)
garlic
GF Dijon Mustard (I use Grey Poupon)
GF Worcestershire Sauce (I use Lea & Perrins)
lemon
greek yogurt
EVOO
pepper
parmesan cheese
GF Croutons (I place some EVOO, salt, garlic powder, oregano and paprika on GF bread and toast.  I then remove and cut into cubes and put back in the toaster at 200 until dry and crispy.)

1.  In a bowl add a few anchovies or about 1 inch of anchovy paste, 1 clove of garlic and some fresh ground pepper.  Mix it all together, crushing the garlic and anchovy until it is a mash.

2.  Add 1/2 tsp of GF Dijon Mustard and 1/2 tsp of Worcestershire and continue to mix.  Add the juice of 1/2 of a lemon and mix some more.

3.  Add a large tablespoon of plain greek yogurt and keep mixing.  Then add 3 tablespoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and keep mixing.

4.  Add in some fresh romaine lettuce that you pre-washed and dried and toss to evenly coat the lettuce with your dressing.

5.  Add in your GF croutons and grated parmesan cheese (I use 1/4 to 1/2 cup).  Toss and serve on plates that you placed in the freezer before you started so they are nice and chilled.

6.  Enjoy as a side salad or add some grilled chicken or shrimp and call it a meal.


Enjoy,

The Un-Gluten Guy

Mountain Mike's Pizza

Pizza. One of the things we GF folk miss is pizza, grabbing a slice, ordering a pie, delivery pizza at home. It has been two years since the GF Food Expo in San Diego where I met the owner of the two local  Mountain Mike's Pizza.   He told me a story about his daughter, who has to be GF, and how his restaurants offer safe GF Pizza.  I kept thinking I would stop in - its been two years.  Sam Golding owns the shop in Clairemont Mesa and I believe another in San Carlos. Its not far but not close, so I didn't venture down to the Clairemont shop.  And, I'm apprehensive about new places.  I hate getting sick from contamination. This is the Gluten Free Menu. Let me tell you it was a great experience.  The girl behind the counter knew what she was talking about, they have a good GF menu - not just pizza (they even have three GF beers), and the pizza was delicious. The GF crusts are small, 10 inch.  They are GF, soy, egg and dairy free. ...

I noticed that I have been slacking on the blog updates.  I do have some recipes to add and a bunch of new GF products that I have found.  But, one of the best new additions I have found was another dedicated GF Brewery out of the incredible Pacific Northwest.  Home to beautiful mountains, rivers, steelhead, salmon and GF Beer.  My other favorite GF beer is just south of these guys in Portland, Oregon - Groundbreaker Brewing  (The brew pub is also a block away from my favorite GF Bakery - New Cascadia Traditional. I found out about  Ghostfish Brewing  after hearing about all of the medals they won at the 2015 Beer events.  They are another dedicated GF Brewer located in Seattle, Washington.  Three guys making great GF beer. I was able to get my hands on three of their beers.  They did not last very long because they were all very good. Grapefruit IPA This won the Bronze Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.  Its...

GFAF Expo 2015 San Diego

Well, its over but it was fun.  This was definitely the best expo that I have been to and there was lots to see and try.  The folks at  GFAF Expo  describe themselves as the largest Gluten Free and Allergen Free Expo in the US and I agree. While I was there I met Angela aka the celiac hash girl.  She has a cool  blog (celiachashigirl.com)  that you should check out. Massel's  had a nice booth front and center.  They make gluten free bouillon.  It comes in cubes, a condensed liquid and a granule form.  Not only is it GF but its vegan.  They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavors.  I made Vietnamese Pho with the beef and you would never know that its vegan.  Great to travel with if you cook when you travel - no more searching for GF broths. Udi's  was also up front.  Serving up their snacks and bread.  There stuff is always great and you can always find their bread in my freezer. One of our n...
