Ingredients
Scale
- 46 g (1/2 cup) red lentils (if you do not eat low FODMAP you can use a bit more)*
- 100 g (4 cups) rocket lettuce
- 300 g (2 2/3 cup) pumpkin in cubes (measured uncooked)
- 50 g (1/3 cup) crumbled feta cheese
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes**

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 F). Divide the pumpkin cubes over a baking tray covered with baking paper. Flavour them with salt and pepper and bake them for about 20 minutes until they get crunchy.
- Bring a pan with water to boil. Add the lentils with a bit of salt and boil them for about 10-15 minutes. Drain the lentils and leave them to drain.
- Divide the lettuce over the plates. Put the pumpkin cubes on top and divide the lentils over it. Cut the sundried tomatoes into pieces and put them on the salad too. Finally, divide the feta and the walnuts over the salad.
Notes
*Dried red lentils are low FODMAP up to 23 g per portion. Canned lentils contain fewer FODMAPs and you can have a little more of those than of dried lentils. If you choose to use canned lentils in this recipe, you can double the amount of lentils to 1 cup or 92 cram (46 gram per serving)
**Sundried tomatoes are low FODMAP up to three pieces per serving. Make sure your jar of sundried tomatoes does not contain any garlic. If you tolerate fructose well, you can use some more sundried tomatoes.
Make sure to use Japanese pumpkin when using pumpkin. Butternut pumpkins are high FODMAP from 45 g (1/3 cup) up.
