The only thing that is not gluten free on this summer salad is the croutons. You can us gluten free bread or bagels to make them tho so it's an easy swap to make if you need to cut out gluten!
Everything else in the salad, including the dressing, is naturally gluten free which is awesome if you have allergies in your house or avoid gluten for personal reasons.
