With grill season in full force, we've found ourselves falling for a tantalizing balsamic glaze that covers chicken in a most delicious way.
Come colder and rainier weather, we know that this coconut amino, rosemary, and balsamic glaze will coat much-baked meat. All in due time, of course!
For now, it is time to add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl, stir, add chicken, and gently toss the meat on the preheated grill. Remember to baste every few minutes for extremely tender bites.
Some may say that lettuce doesn't belong in a Greek salad. Yet, a Paleo lifestyle is all about making the best of good food that is available. Mixed lettuce leaves and wild greens can, and should, be part of a healthy meal.
When you harvest them fresh, they will be lovely and crisp. However, if you want to save the salad for a day or two in the fridge, here is a lettuce-free Greek salad that fits the bill in terms of authentic ingredients.
If you are enjoying the benefits of a Keto lifestyle, why not add a heap of low-carb feta cheese to your Greek salad? You know, just to keep the salad on the more traditional side.
When you are seeking more dairy-free Greek inspiration, we highly recommend a baking sheet full of Greek-style roast chicken. With 10 minutes of prep time, 4 ingredients, and loads of olives, it is sure to please your Mediterranean cravings quickly.
