A simple salsa that is fresh and delicious!
Early in the Fodmap journey I was looking for a salsa that was not super heavy on tomatoes. At the time red bell peppers were listed as no Fodmaps so I loaded up. Since then Monash has retested and found they can be problematic so as far as the recipe I have reigned in the amount of bell pepper.
Try this salsa on the Low Fodmap Beef Tacos with Lime Crema. If you’re on a Mexican-Southwest kick, try the Low Fodmap Guacamole, Low Fodmap Tomatillo Salsa or the Low Fodmap Southwest Salad. Just remember to keep an eye on portions to keep the meal low fodmap.
