Low Histamine Mango Blueberry Basil Salad

Low Histamine Mango Blueberry Basil Salad Recipe (also Low Oxalate, Low Lectin)

Many times, people with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance tell me they have trouble finding something tasty to eat.

I did too when I first started. It can take a lot to change old food habits. But it actually made me much more creative about what I eat.

And one of my favorite foods is mango. Fresh mango is one of the most luscious foods I can imagine.

And a second favorite of mine is blueberries.

On top of that, I love basil. So why not throw all these histamine lowering foods together?

Let’s look at how these ingredients can support mast cells and histamine levels.

Histamine Balancing/Mast Cell Supporting Properties of These Foods

Mango has antihistamine properties. Mango also support healthy metabolism and cholesterol balance. It’s also high in beta carotene, the precursor to Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for mast cell support. Make sure it is just-ripe. But not over-ripe, which will be a little higher histamine.

Blueberries are naturally high in quercetin. And quercetin is a natural antihistamine. They also have a compound called pterostilbene. Which is another natural antihistamine!

Basil also has great antihistamine properties. It also supports digestion. And can help balance blood sugar. It adds a nice complexity to the flavor in this recipe.

Peaches have been shown in research to support mast cells by reducing inflammation. The also can support digestion and have loads of nutrients.

On top of that we have olive oil which supports DAO! But with olive oil, be sure to get one that is very fresh like this one:

 

Note: Anyone with Mast cell Activation Syndrome or Histamine Intolerance can react to anything. If any of these foods are new for you, try them slowly.

    Hi Beth, A marvelous, delicious combination, but I have to watch out for Candida too!
    Thank you!

    So lime juice is high histamine though, right? I see it’s optional but weird that you include it. And do you have to freeze leftover fruit salad? I thought I just had to freeze any leftover cooked food. New to this MCAD low-histamine life and it’s so complicated, so many contradictions, and frustrating…

      Hi Michelle,
      Lime is generally tolerated up to about 1/2 tsp (though not always during elimination.) Certainly, if you have had issues with lime juice in the past, you can omit that ingredient. For cut fruits and vegetables, I recommend freezing where possible. This doesn’t work with lettuce, but somethings do freeze very well.

    Thanks for this recipe. I am usually confused about what to eat since am wary of dousing myself with antihistamines. Please keep them coming
