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?? Fortunately we have a lot of gluten free noodles available, includind soba noodles, which I also recommend for this delicious noodles salad.
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 🙂
