Low FODMAP endive salad with bacon and eggs
I love simple and quick side salads that you can prepare quickly. This low FODMAP endive salad with bacon and eggs is one of those recipes.
I like eating endive when it is cooked, for example in the oven with ham and cheese on top. But I think I like it even more in a salad. Then you eat it raw and it is crunchy and fresh.
How to make low FODMAP endive salad
I make this endive salad with a simple yogurt-mayonnaise dressing with a bit of mustard and lemon juice.
Next to the endive, I added pieces of fried bacon and boiled egg to the salad.
And to give the salad a fresh touch, I add a little apple.
You might say, apple? Is that low FODMAP? Well, apple is low FODMAP only in a tiny serving. A serving of 25 grams (2 tsp) of a granny smith apple is low FODMAP.
That is not much, especially when you want to eat apples as a snack. But when you incorporate it into a meal, like in this salad, adding 100 grams (for 4 servings) of apple can give a little fresh bite to your salad.
That’s why I like adding it! But you can also leave the apple out of the salad if you prefer that.

Notes
*Granny smith apples are tested and a serving of 25 grams per person is low FODMAP. This is a very small amount, but in a salad, a little bit of apple can be great. If you use apples in this salad, make sure you stick to the serving size of 25 grams per person. And avoid eating other foods that have sorbitol in the same meal, otherwise, you are stacking FODMAPs.
