Low Salicylate Cabbage

 

It's day 4 of the Low-Sal diet for me. I am missing my veggies that I am so used to eating very much! I just had to have some veggies, so I sauteed some cabbage. It's actually really good!

All you need is
green cabbage (red is higher in sals)
ORGANIC canola oil (only use organic to avoid GMOs)
sea salt

Heat a little oil in a pan.
Add some cut up cabbage and salt and saute until it gets soft, but not too soft.

Split Pea Soup - Low Salicylate

 

As of today, the Low Salicylate Diet as begun for me. I think that my body has sufficiently healed from the oxalate problem and now I am onto clearing out the salicylates that have built up in there and that I am so sensitive to. If you haven't heard of this type of diet, you can visit the Feingold Association www.feingold.org. I was afraid to get started on something new, but I actually enjoyed all of my foods today. Here is a split pea soup that I made that is very low in salicylates.

1 pound green split peas
5 cups of water
1 white onion
salt
garlic powder
organic canola oil (only use organic canola, as the conventional kind mostly likely is GMO derived)

Chop the onion and saute in some oil in a big pot
Add the water and split peas
Simmer until the peas are soft. This will take at least an hour.
You can blend the mixture if you want to. I used my hand blender right inside of the pot.
Add salt and some garlic powder.

Enjoy!
