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

Printer 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.
