Low Fodmap Tomatillo Salsa

Low Fodmap Tomatillo Salsa in bowl with lime and cilantro around the bowl

Tomatillos are delicious and thankfully, low Fodmap! This is an easy recipe… the stickiest bit – and I mean that literally – is peeling the tomatillos. I recommend food-safe gloves.

Roast the tomatillos and after they’ve softened and started to brown a bit on the edges, toss them (the whole thing) into a food processor with the other ingredients and blend.

If you want more kick you’re welcome to add a cayenne pepper or something else that will give it some spice, just keep an eye on the Fodmaps.
