Unfortunately, he has some health issues that make him feel terrible whenever he eats one. We realized a few years back that it was the combination of the meat with the grain-filled bun that caused the issues—so we moved to bunless burgers, using sweet potato planks or lettuce leaves instead of buns. That worked, but it was messy and hard to control all the glorious burger toppings. Then, a few months back, I decided to put all the burger fixin’s into a big bowl salad instead. My burger-loving husband took one bite and then looked at me and said, “Can we please have these every week?” And since that day, we have! My husband gets to eat his “burger” and still feel great—the best of both worlds. So if your body feels better with a gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, or even Whole30 diet but you’re still missing your burgers—this is the recipe for you!

This simple salad is actually probably way too simple to be called a recipe, but considering we’ve been known to eat it at every dinner in August, I figured it was probably time I shared it with you. Like most simple recipes, the key to making this insanely flavorful is getting your hand on really great ingredients. I wouldn’t recommend making this in the middle of winter with hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers—you’ll be disappointed. This is definitely a summer-only recipe. Here, I’m using various heirloom tomatoes we’ve grown, but any fresh tomatoes would do the trick. Read the post »]]> https://wholefully.com/herbed-cucumber-and-tomato-salad/feed/ 10
