This is one of my favorite chopped salad recipes, as it makes a lot and keeps well in the fridge (sans avocado). Feel free to substitute a regular orange if your market does not have a blood orange.

Looking for more AIP-compliant recipes?
Check out The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook by our very own Mickey Trescott, the very first cookbook ever published for AIP.
This book contains over 110 elimination diet friendly recipes, including appetizers, snacks, soups, stews, salads, main dishes, and desserts. Also included are 2 4-week meal plans, shopping lists, and all the information you need to get started on your healing journey.
I’ve noticed already that a few of your recipes feature cruciferous vegetables (those that fall in the family with broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collards/greens, Brussels sprouts, etc). Since I read somewhere that you are a thyroid sufferer, I was a bit surprised to see them on here. I know they’re super good for you, unless you have an underactive thyroid, but I can’t find anyone who can tell me with any credibility or authority how much or how often it’s OK for hypothyroid people to eat them. Do you know? Many thanks!
I have Hypothyroidism myself and I watched that show that comes on TV called the Doctors and they said that if you have a Thyroid condition that Cabbage can enlarge the thyroid and they also mentioned other vegetables like Molie mentioned in a post. I think if you don’t eat the same thing every day with those vegetables she mentioned, and in large quantities you will be okay.
Hi Christy, Do you have my ebook or print book? There is an apple cider vinaigrette as well as a raspberry vinaigrette that would work well for this salad. Hope it helps!
Is there a substitute for Coconut vinegar? having difficulty finding that along with Coconut concentrate for another of your recipes. Thanks for the info.
With five autoimmune diseases between them, Mickey and Angie found their path to better health with the Autoimmune Protocol. Now it’s their mission to share that approach with nourishing recipes, practical resources, and community connections. LEARN MORE>

Hi Mollie – great question. You are right, I have Hashimotos. I do not believe goitrogens to be a problem for thyroid sufferers eaten in moderate quantities. The Paleo Mom has a great referenced article on the topic here: https://www.thepaleomom.com/2013/04/teaser-excerpt-from-the-paleo-approach-what-about-the-goitrogens-in-cruciferous-veggies.html

I am so making this. Love cabbage.
The little fig has honey in their recipe, did you omit it on purpose?
Yes, I don’t use honey here.

I know this is a blood orange vinaigrette, but is there another dressing you can recommend? I can’t have citrus except for lemons & limes. Thank you!
Hi Christy,
Do you have my ebook or print book? There is an apple cider vinaigrette as well as a raspberry vinaigrette that would work well for this salad. Hope it helps!

What would you substitue avocado with? I have a latex allergy.
What is the best way to incorporate the 2 week AIP and FODMAP? I love onions and garlic, however I am having reactions to them. Thanks!
Nicole
Hey Nicole! A lot of people layer the low-FODMAP approach with AIP, but it can be pretty restrictive. I would suggest checking out Christina’s monthly low-FODMAP/AIP meal plan: https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1400397&c=ib&aff=246631&cl=265063
Newbie cook here! Should I toss the dressing with the cabbage and then keep it in the fridge, or store the dressing separate? Thank you!
Jessica,
If you can keep it separate that would be best, but cabbage is pretty sturdy so it should keep for a day dressed. Hope it helps!

Hi Tiffany! Apple-cider vinegar will work fine here.
