Instructions

- Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days, it tastes even better a day later!

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
