Gnocchi Salad with Tomatoes, Basil and Red Onion: 100% Dairy-Free and Soy-Free

Healthy, Kid-Approved Lunch Ready in 30 Minutes

This gnocchi salad has great texture and lots of flavor, plus it's naturally soy and dairy free. When we make this, the kids pick basil from the garden while the parents chop the veggies and cook the gnocchi.

Since not all gnocchi brands are safe for people following a dairy-free and soy-free diet, make sure to double-check labels as some refrigerated versions may contain dairy while other shelf-stable brands may contain soy. We trust Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi for this recipe.

The fresh flavors are what make this meal shine—crunchy, tangy and salty notes mixed with fresh tomatoes and basil make for a great lunch or a light side to go with dinner. Free recipe below when you subscribe to our weekly emails.
