Polish Vegetable Salad (Low FODMAP)
Normally a Polish Vegetable Salad contains onion*, apple and lots of tinned peas. They are the ingredients that we need to avoid or limit on a Low FODMAP diet. But small adaptations mean that this wonderful salad (similar to a potato salad) will still be Low FODMAP. This Polish Vegetable Salad (Low FODMAP) is so good that you don't miss anything in it and your family will love it, too!
