Low FODMAP green salad
I was still missing a recipe for an easy low FODMAP green salad on Karlijn’s Kitchen. A side dish that can be served alongside other meals.
To add a few extra vegetables to your meal.
How to make the green salad
This is a super quick salad that hardly needs any explanation. I make the salad itself with a rocket lettuce mix, cucumber and zucchini.
As toppings I use pepitas, feta and a little bit of fresh mint.
The salad is dressed with a simple lemon vinaigrette. A perfect side dish!
How to combine this salad with other meals
Most ingredients in this salad contain hardly any FODMAPs and can be eaten in larger servings without problems.
The only ingredient that is limited low FODMAP is zucchini. You can eat 60 grams of zucchini per serving.
In higher servings, the zucchini is high in fructans. If you eat this salad alongside another dish, you have to be careful that this dish doesn’t contain other ingredients that are limited low FODMAP and contain fructans.
If that is the case, you can also leave the zucchini out of this salad. That makes it safer to combine with another meal that is relatively high in fructans.
