No-Lettuce Low FODMAP Salad I mygutfeeling.eu
A crunchy and healthy mix of shredded wintertime veggies might just be the perfect clean eating detox plan after the heavy food holiday season + it’s a great make-ahead lunch option to take to work!

But how to make a vibrant, flavorful and satisfying winter salad on a low FODMAP diet? With all our food limitations and restrictions, sounds like quite an ordeal…

Actually there are some great low FODMAP options, besides the boring lettuce, that you can easily bring to the table. Just think about winter veggies like parsnip or belgian endive. They are bright, crisp, slightly bitter and packed full of  nutrients.

To bring out the best flavor and texture of your veggies, you can also try new ways of cutting them: shaved brussels sprouts (in the middle of the photo), ribboned carrots (bottom right), julienne-cut celeriac (top middle),… It’s easy and you’ll be surprised how a simple cut can enhance their taste.

And don’t forget to add-in some nutrient-dense ingredients such as pulses, nuts and seeds (please check all low FODMAP options and safe serving sizes in the recipe below).

To pull it all together, you’ll need a gorgeous mustard vinaigrette. When there’s enough acid, tougher vegetables grow soft and tender, which gives them major make-ahead potential. So, for the perfectly seasoned salad, simply toss the veggies in the vinaigrette the night before and you won’t have to worry about that little extra jar of dressing leaking all over your lunch bag.

From now on, you can leave the lettuce out of your bowl and allow this salad to become your new lunchtime favorite!

And if you fancy winter salads, you must try this yummy potato salad.

Notes

Low FODMAP servings per meal:
- Commom cabbage 2,65oz|75g (fructans). Recipe calls for same quantity.
- Brussels sprouts* 1,34oz|38g (fructans). Recipe calls for half :0,67oz|19g.
- Canned chickpeas 1,48oz|42g (GOS). Recipe calls for same quantity.
FODMAP experts advise to limit servings of related FODMAPs to 1.5 servings per sitting (3 hours). This means, if you want to eat two foods from the same FODMAP group, you can have one serving of one and half a serving of the other. It's the case of fructans in this recipe. Remember, stacking only occurs in foods that come from the same FODMAP group. This means if you have a safe portion of fructans and a safe portion of GOS, they won’t stack on you. You can eat all this salad without problems.
*Even if a small serving of brussels sprouts is low fodmap, avoid them if they don't agree with you.
