FODMAP Adaptable:

  • Keep to 1/2 stalk of celery
  • Omit onion (can replace with some chopped chives)
  • Omit garlic and instead use garlic infused olive oil.
  • Feta is fine to keep in.

 

If packing for lunch, try to hold off on putting the dressing on as long as possible.

Omit the feta, or add in a cashew cheese/ bio-cheese if you wish
