Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe originally seen on my heirloom BLT salad (looove that salad!).
Make it gluten free:
This dish is gluten free as long as you use gluten-free tamari, which is a variety of soy sauce that is usually (but not always, check the label) gluten free. I always use tamari instead of soy sauce because I prefer the flavor of it!
Where to buy:
Look for coconut flakes in the baking aisle or health food section at well-stocked grocery stores. Look for tamari next to the soy sauce in the Asian aisle. Look for liquid smoke near the barbecue sauce.
