Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1/2 cup lactose-free cottage cheese
  • 1 stalk celery, minced*
  • 2-3 tbsp sweet pickles, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, plus to taste

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt to taste

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar (optional, to taste)

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
