Low-FODMAP Middle Eastern Chickpea Salad; Gluten-free, Vegan

Printer Friendly Version

This is my mother-in-law’s recipe for a Middle Eastern (she called it Israeli) Chickpea Salad that I just came across in my old recipe book.  I knew I had to modify it for low-FODMAP since we can have canned chickpeas!

This recipe is a simple and delicious, one-bowl preparation.

Fun FODMAP fact: Note that green and red peppers are a little different in FODMAP content.  Also, make sure you drain the chickpeas- the liquid in the can is where the FODMAPs are.  Do not substitute regular chickpeas as they are much higher in FODMAP content!
