Low FODMAP burrata salad with pesto
Simple salads with only a few high quality ingredients are usually my favourites. You don’t need much to put a super tasty salad on the table. Flavourful tomatoes, a good burrata or buffalo mozzarella and homemade pesto.
The colours are banging off of your plate with this salad. This burrata salad with roasted tomatoes and pesto makes a perfect side dish, for a barbecue!
Is burrata low FODMAP?
Burrata has not been tested on FODMAPs yet, but contains more lactose than mozzarella. Therefore I expect that it is only low FODMAP in small amounts.
If you are still in the elimination phase, it is best to replace the burrata with buffalo mozzarella. I have a lactose-intolerance myself and I eat burrata together with a lactase pill. Like this I can enjoy it without troubles.

Notes
*See the explanation about burrata above this recipe
**Tomatoes have retested in 2022 and are limited low FODMAP now. Cherry tomatoes are low FODMAP up to 45 grams per serving, normal tomatoes up to 65 grams per serving and roma tomatoes up to 75 grams per serving. In the elimination phase, or if you are sensitive to fructose, I recommend using a maximum of 180 grams of cherry tomatoes in this recipe or 200 grams of regular/roma tomatoes. Then eat a maximum of 1/4 of this recipe as one serving. If you know you tolerate tomatoes well, you can use a little more.
