Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- With a small food processor, or immersion blender, blend your cottage cheese until smooth
- In a medium bowl, mince your eggs into a fine crumb with a fork. Add in the lactose-free cottage cheese, celery, pickles, dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic-infused oil, scallion tips, fresh dill, pepper and paprika. Taste, and adjust seasoning, add rice vinegar, if desired

Notes
- Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients
- Celery is low-FODMAP in 10g servings, but you can enjoy up to 68g per FODMAP Friendly
- Infused oils do not contain FODMAPs, enjoy these to add flavor to your favorite meals
- Scallion tips, and chives are low in FODMAPs, avoid the bulb of the scallion
- I suggest fresh herbs for the best flavor in this recipe
- I used gherkin pickles, ensure your product does not contain onion, garlic, or HFCS. Gherkins have nil FODMAPs per FODMAP Friendly
- If you tolerate lactose, 2.8 tablespoons is one low-FODMAP serving for cottage cheese
