Low FODMAP Salsa Recipe Ingredients

You only need a few basic ingredients to make this easy low FODMAP salsa recipe:

  • Canned Diced Tomatoes The star of this recipe! If you are skeptical of using canned tomatoes, don’t be! I couldn’t believe how well they worked the first time I tried them.
  • Green Bell Pepper – For sharp depth of flavor! They add a nice fresh bite, too.
  • Lime juice – Makes this recipe zesty and bright.
  • Scallion – Brings that onion flavor without the discomfort.
  • Jalapeño – For heat! If you’re sensitive to spice, make sure to remove the seeds. Can be omitted if it’s too spicy for you.
  • Cilantro – It adds fresh flavor and pretty flecks of green.
  • Salt – To make all the flavors pop!

FODMAP Safe Serving Sizes from Monash:

  • Diced Tomato – 1/3 medium tomato per meal
  • Green Bell Pepper – 1/4 medium pepper per meal
  • Jalapeño – 1 small chili per meal
  • Scallion – 1/3 cup per meal

Please use your own judgement and tolerances when deciding how much salsa to eat!

Here’s how to make it:

It couldn’t be easier! Once you’ve chopped all of your ingredients, just stir to combine!

Remember to taste to adjust for salt and lime juice. This recipe improves after about 12 hours in the fridge but you can eat it right away.

It’s so good ~ try not to eat it all at once!
