LID recipes for lunch!

I loved being on the low-iodine diet during the summer when fresh fruits and vegetables were readily available! You can have up to 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit a day!

For lunch, most days, I made salads... fresh iceberg lettuce, fresh tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, onions. I made two different dressings that were easy. These are also from the http://thyca.org/Cookbook.pdf .

 The French Vinaigrette was my personal favorite and least ingredients...I usually used this on my salads mentioned above. 


The italian dressing wasn't my favorite but it was great with just cucumbers and tomatoes...not lettuce or onions. 

Some days, I also ate chicken salad with homemade mayonnaise from the book. I had chicken salad, cucumbers, and a piece of fruit. 

BE CAREFUL while making the mayo. When putting in the corn oil, it gets really thick in the blender, just like it warns in the recipe! If it is not getting thick, something mixed wrong. I had to redo 3 batches...by just pouring it all out and starting over. 

Easy! I bought fresh, on the bone chicken breasts and boiled them for about 45 minutes. I pulled all the chicken off and put in the food chopper. Afterwards, I mixed in all ingredients (sometimes, I added grapes!) and then the mayo recipe from above. Yum! Yum!
