I love a big, hearty low-FODMAP salad. In particular, one with added crunch and a little cheese. This low-FODMAP Southwest salad does all that. The low-FODMAP Southwest dressing is sweet, spicy and creamy and highlights the great flavors in the salad. Something I could eat all day long!
You can serve the low-FODMAP Southwest salad with my low-FODMAP Grilled Lime Chicken or without, depending on how big a meal you desire. Or double/triple the recipe for a larger party.
