Garnishes (such as butter lettuce, red bell pepper strips, thinly sliced carrots, thinly sliced radishes, thinly sliced cucumber)

​
Tuscan Herb Baked Potatoes with Quinoa Salad
Makes 2 servings

Potatoes
5 small potatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Casa de Sante Low-FODMAP Tuscan Herb Mix

Salad
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned 
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup sliced radishes
8 pitted olives, sliced
3 Brazil nuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons cooked or canned corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 tablespoons)
Sea salt
​Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the potatoes in half and arrange them in single layer in a medium baking pan. Drizzle with the oil, then sprinkle with the Tuscan Herb Mix. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until tender.

While the potatoes are baking, make the salad. Put the quinoa, bell pepper, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, radishes, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and corn in a medium bowl and toss until well combined. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, arrange the potatoes on a plate with the salad on the side.

I'm following a low-Fodmap vegan diet and really appreciate (and I mean really) any help, recipes, new products, etc. I'd expecially love to try the Casa de Sante lemon herb and the BBQ rub. Thanks for the opportunity:)

My daughter has recently been diagnosed with IBS, and since she has long followed a mostly vegan diet, we are scrambling to identify foods she can eat. She loves spicy food and is especially eager to try the Casa de Sante Mexican and Indian seasonings.

Almost all seasoning blends contain garlic and/or onion, so I'm excited to try these! It's hard to find anything "safe"!

Man spices are one of the hardest things I have to deal with as an IBS sufferer. My food is already quite bland so anything I can do to enhance the flavour is a bonus. Unfortunately I tend to stick to the same few things and it gets boring. The variety pack almost seems too good to be true! And for that reason I'd be most excited to try to the Mexican Seasoning Mix. I NEVER eat Mexican because it's one of my triggers.

I've been wfpb for a year and currently believe I am experiencing a flare up of the colitis I was diagnosed with about a year and a half ago. I just learned about fodmaps and am starting an elimination phase to see if this helps. I would love to have some wonderful spices that won't upset my system---I use garlic and onion in everything and am going to miss it!!

I love well-seasoned food, but Low-FODMAP spice mixes are tough to find. All of these sound wonderful, especially the BBQ rub and Lemon Herb Seasoning.

Oh my gosh these spices sound amazing and delicious! I would love to try them all but am especially excited about trying the Indian Spicy Hot mix. I still have yet to figure out all of the foods that upset my stomach, but this site has helped me a lot in that regard.

Wow! What a great giveaway! My food could really use some spicing up -- it's been way too bland. I like a lot of seasonings, but I never know what will or won't agree with me. These would really give my dishes a good flavor boost. Thanks for doing this!
