I love making courses too, especially on IP. I'm one pf those who needs to feel full.

I think your shrimp salad concoction will be a frequent 'starter' addition to my dinner menu. And I'm definitely making the zucchini soup. I've been looking for a good recipe - and there it is! Thanks!

Does it matter what kind of broth??? Just wondering as some have a lot of salt, which ones are ok?

My clinic does not have them as free. I have also used 1 c cucumber as one veggie for a loooong time.
I do use pickles as free, but I don't eat them every day...

I love cukes, onions, and cauliflower all tossed in olive oil and vinegar with salt and pepper. (seasalt of course) Sometimes I will add some Italian spices, sometimes I'll add red pepper flakes. It's a great way to get in my veggies and olive oil. I will even pour it over spinach leaves to make a salad and the vinegar and oil serve as the dressing.
