Low FODMAP cobb salad
A Cobb salad is a well-known salad in the United States and I thought it would be fun to make a low FODMAP version of it. So a low FODMAP Cobb salad.
A cobb salad usually consists of iceberg lettuce, tomato, bacon, turkey or chicken breast, boiled eggs, avocado, and blue cheese served with a homemade dressing.
The various ingredients are usually placed in neat rows on top of the lettuce and that is how the salad is served. That looks very nice!
A Cobb salad is a super filling salad that you can eat as a main meal. Wonderful for summer days.
The ingredients of the low FODMAP Cobb salad
I made my low FODMAP Cobb salad with the following ingredients:
- Romaine lettuce
- Fried chicken breast
- Slices of fried bacon
- Boiled eggs
- 1/4 avocado: 1/8 avocado per person is low FODMAP. If you know that you can handle sorbitol well, you can use a little more avocado.
- Cherry tomatoes
- Blue cheese, I used Roquefort
I made the dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, a little mustard, pepper, and salt.
These ingredients make a healthy protein-rich salad that also tastes delicious. Win-win! Continue reading for the recipe.
