Low Histamine Sesame Chicken Salad

Low Histamine Sesame Chicken Salad

Cassava / Low FODMAP / Low Histamine / Low Lectin / Low Oxalate / Medium Oxalate / Recipes

When you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or Histamine Intolerance, then eating low histamine can often be really helpful.

I’ve been eating lower histamine, lower oxalate, and low lectin for a number of years. And it definitely helped me.

But, I do find I really love variety! I like trying new things all the time.

This is why I like to experiment and come up with new recipes.

Salads can get pretty boring to me. And I like to shake them up!

The star of this recipe is very good quality toasted sesame oil. The best sesame oils come from Korea or Japan.

I use this one from Kadoya. It really does make a big difference for the flavor:

The recipe is really easy to modify. If any of the ingredients don’t work for you, just sub them out.

A put in a couple options. A medium-ish oxalate and a lower oxalate option. Just see the substitution notes.

The low oxalate options aren’t low lectin though – just something to keep in mind.

If you find you are Oxalate Intolerant, you might want to skip the carrots in this recipe. Up to 1/2 cups of raw carrots are high oxalate.

There are a number of ingredients. But this is easy to throw together. So, don’t let it hold you back.

And, you can make the chicken up ahead of time. Then freeze and have it on hand to make this salad or add it to a cassava wrap!

*How to make Flax Eggs:

  1. Mix 3 T ground organic flaxseed meal with scant ½ cup water. This equals 1 egg.
  2. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Use in place of eggs for baking. You won’t get as much rise as eggs. But the flax eggs do help hold everything together.

**How to make Garlic Infused Oil:

  1. Pour 2 cups of Kassandrinos extra virgin olive oil, ghee, or coconut oil into a pot.
  2. Warm the oil gently (don’t let it overheat).
  3. Add 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and halved.
  4. Add garlic to the oil, turn off the heat, and let sit for 30 minutes.
  5. Strain into a clean jar, making sure to remove all garlic pieces. A mesh strainer can be helpful.
  6. Pour leftover oil into ice cube trays to freeze. Then store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    When you freeze these leftovers, how do the cilantro and mint hold up when thawed to eat. I’m guessing the cabbage does ok, but thinking the thinner leaves of the herbs probably get pretty wet/wilty/much less appetizing?

      Hi Margaret,
      One option would be to make the whole salad without the cilantro and mint and freeze that portion. Then when you are preparing to eat it, add the fresh cilantro and mint at that time.

    This is absolutely fantastic! I made it with the sunbutter – honestly I was blown away how much I enjoyed it. I ate it with cassava crackers I made. First time I can honestly say I enjoyed carrots and cabbage. Thanks!!
