Dr. Rachel’s Favorite Low-FODMAP Cobb Salad Recipe; Gluten-free

Print Friendly Version

Cobb Salad is my new obsession.  It’s just the perfect combination of fresh vegetables and tasty protein topped with a fabulous dressing.  Light, healthy, as well as satisfying.

This low-FODMAP Cobb Salad is the best I have had. You can modify it for any protein you like (chicken, turkey, tuna), your favorite cheese (goat, cheddar, mozzarella), and pick your low-FODMAP dressing (low-FODMAP Ranch, low-FODMAP Italian, low-FODMAP Green Goddess).  So easy and so good.

    1. Thank you for your comments Jackie! We love that you modified the recipe for your own preference. The cheese can certainly be omitted if you aren’t a fan of those flavors. Glad you enjoyed the salad 🙂
