Chicken & Chop Salad

Here’s another winning recipe to add to your low histamine fat loss repertoire, with heaps of protein and nutrients with a minimum dose of calories for maximum satiety and fat loss with less hunger.  

The chicken brings plenty of protein with vitamins B3, B5 and B6, along with choline, iron, selenium and zinc.  Cottage cheese works as a low-fat, high-protein dressing to add extra protein and round out the texture.  The salad adds vitamins A, B5, B6, C and K1, folate, and a moderate dose of a range of minerals.  

To spice things up a little, you could also add some sesame oil and chopped fresh red chilli if you can tolerate it.
