A low fodmap noodle salad recipe with citrus grilled turkey, cherry tomatoes and chives. A great alternative to grilled chicken.
After being told I had to give up gluten, one of the toughest foods to eliminate was pasta. How would I live without it?? I tried Chinese rice noodles but was fed up after a couple of week. Then I discovered soba noodles and my life changed!! Soba noodles is a very popular dish in Japan, made with buckwheat flour. You can eat it cold in a salad or hot in a soup.
So I started experimenting with soba noodles (I will be posting some of these recipes soon) and then I found other noodles, equally delicious, such as the ones I use in this recipe: Organic Pumpkin, Ginger & Brown Rice Noodles, yum!!
When trying to reduce red meat, one has to vary as much as possible and this is why for this recipe I chose grilled turkey, a great alternative to grilled chicken. I’ll show you how to season it to avoid drying the meat and to enhance its flavour. The tomatoes and chives add freshness and the sunflower seeds are great final touch.
A fresh, healthy and nutritious pasta salad, easy to prepare and take to work.

This looks yummy, I love Oodles of noodles…sorry…but I have to be careful egg noodles and some veggie noodles have wheat in them. My safest bet is opting for rice noodles. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Not to worry, these are rice nodles. They are wheat, gluten and egg free. If you try the brand I suggest, you´ll be perfectly safe 🙂
