Gluten Free 5 Minute Lasagna Salad
First off, I cook based on principle and not exact measurements. Some of the best things are made up as I go along, and sometimes the results are just plain good. Times like this they are definitely worth sharing. Tonight I made something Gluten Free that everyone enjoyed. Especially the kids !!
Since we have discovered my husband's gluten intolerance, he has been craving Lasagna. I have seen the pasta online. However I have yet to see it at our local market. I pack my husband's lunch daily..and keeping it interesting and gluten free has been a fun challenge.
Many times I make a him a big salad, and dress it up. It's my go to lunch. Tonight I was out of a lot of ingredients..so this is what I came up with.
I filled a large rectangular bowl with Organic Spring Mix
I topped it with Finely shredded 3 Cheese Italian (Parmesan, Asiago, and Romano Cheeses)
Threw some Hormel Pizza Toppers Italian Sausage on top of that.
In a separate bowl I mixed:
1/2 Cup Ricotta
1-2 tsp Pizza seasoning..can substitute Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
Salt/ Pepper to taste
Palm full of 3 cheese Italian
1/8 cup water
I microwaved that for a 1.5 minutes to melt cheeses and soften Italian seasoning.
In another bowl I poured some pre-made Mama Mary's Gourmet Pizza Sauce and microwaved it until it was hot.
I added the ricotta mixture to the top of the salad and then poured the warm pizza sauce over it all.
I stirred and all of the melted cheese coated the lettuce mixture as did the sauce.
The result was an awesome 5 minutes Lasagna Salad.
Next time I think I will make the kids some warm garlic bread to go with it. Gluten Free off Course.
