When you think of traditional Southern cuisine, healthy is not the first thing that typically comes to mind. But there?s no reason you shouldn?t be able to enjoy a heaping helping of tasty comfort in the upcoming Summer months. If you?re maintaining a healthy diet and haven?t been able to enjoy those nostalgic Southern dishes, have no fear. Here are a few easy ways to lighten up your Southern favorites. Forget the fryer : It may be a sad moment, but it?s time to say goodbye to your old friend the deep fryer. Luckily, there are tons of ways to enjoy the flavors of good old Southern cooking without the fry. If fried chicken was your guilty pleasure, say hello to a plate of guilt-free ?breaded? chicken strips (pictured above) from the Healthful Pursuit that are both dairy- and gluten-free! Whether it?s catfish, fries, or shrimp, give a fried dish a healthy makeover by baking it instead. Spice it up : Focus on playing up the natural flavors of the food you?re working with instead of covering it in heavy sauces, butter, or cream. Cajun or Gullah seasoning are both Southern-inspired and offer serious punches of tasty flavor. Keep reading for more ways to make Southern cooking healthier.
