One of my favorite food combining diet recipes for beginners is a big salad loaded with non-starchy vegetables, avocado, protein (or a starchy protein like chickpeas), and creamy lemon tahini dressing.
This is a protein-versatile veggie food combining recipe. Feel free to swap the tofu for any protein you'd like. Or, for a starch-versatile veggie recipe, swap the tofu for chickpeas and a cup of quinoa, which are still high enough in protein.
I like the linked book below best as it has a more relaxed, realistic approach.
