Salads & Soups Recipes

Some suggested pairings include Grab ‘n’ Go Southwestern Salad with Southwestern Posole; Cranberry Apple Salad with Turkey, Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup; and Crunchy Couscous Salad with Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup.

In addition to salad and soup recipes, our Salads and Soups cookbook contains four bread recipes. After trying Caraway Rye Bread and Flour Tortillas, you may add homemade bread to your weekly food preparation plan.

Salad and Soup Tips

You’ll also find some great tips and ideas, such as how to turn a salad into a superfoods meal. Learn how to make your own low-sodium broth and healthy salad dressings. Read food safety tips designed to keep you safe from food-borne illnesses. And see how much sodium can be reduced when you make salad and soup at home compared to items from a restaurant or grocery store.

One of my favorite recipes in this cookbook is Jicama Fabulous. Jicama and carrots make it crunchy, grapes add natural sweetness, and the apple cider and citrus juice dressing pull together the flavors for a perfectly delightful combination.

Is multi grain with seeds bread bad for my kidneys?(I have stage 3). Thank you so d

One slice (1 ounce) of multigrain bread contains 3.5 g protein 100 mg sodium, 60 mg potassium and 60 mg phosphorus plus 1.9 g fiber. The potassium and phosphorus are higher compared to refined white bread but the fiber makes it a better choice. If you are limiting potassium or phosphorus due to high blood levels you can still include multigrain bread but may want to limit to 2 slices/day. If you do not require potassium and phosphorus restrictions no need to limit.

Hi, I have both CKD and pre diabetes. I would like to find a cookbook that has planned meals and snacks in the same book for the two different problems.

Also, can I eat Kashi cereals and chai seed ?

Look for dietitian Susan Zobheib’s book “The Renal Diet Cookbook for the Newly Diagnosed”. She also has several other kidney cookbooks available online or in book stores.
Kashi brand cereals vary in the amount of sodium, phosphorus and potassium. You can check the label–cereals usually provide information an all 3 of these nutrients. Chia seeds are high in phosphorus so suggest limit to a teaspoon or two.

I’m on stage 4 renal failure, and on dialysis, have difficulty in controlling ferritin and urea even though I had parathyroid glands removed.

Sara Colman, RD, CDE

Ferritin is a protein that carries iron to storage. It may be low if iron stores are low and is associated with anemia. Ferritin may be high if inflammation is present. It is also associated with hyperthyroidism but is not related to the parathyroid glands. Urea levels do not return to normal since you are on dialysis (stage 5 CKD). In between dialysis treatments the urea builds up in your blood, and is removed at the next treatment. However the amount removed does not make levels go to normal range for a person with working kidneys. Ask your kidney doctor or dietitian to explain your levels and the range that is considered normal for you.

You will find many resources in the Diet and Nutrition section of DaVita.com. Renal diets vary based on stage of kidney disease for non-dialysis or type or dialysis treatment.
