Good for Your Gut Low FODMAP Potato Salad
This is the best healthy potato salad recipe. It is a great way to add prebiotics to your diet to support gut health.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs russet potatoes
- 2 eggs, hard boiled gently mashed into pieces with a fork
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 stalks green onion, chopped green parts only
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley optional for garnish
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and place in a large pot. Add water until the potatoes are covered by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Check them regularly to prevent overcooking.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Refrigerate the dressing until potatoes are finished.
- When the potatoes have finished cooking, strain the water and allow them to cool to the touch. When they are no longer too hot to handle, cut them into 1 inch cubes. Transfer them to a large bowl and add the dressing. Stir well to combine.
- Add the mashed hard boiled eggs, diced celery, and chopped green onion. Stir to combine.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. This recipe is best chilled. If desired, add parsley to garnish the dish prior to serving.
Notes
- Celery is low FODMAP at a portion of 1/3 stalk. This recipe is therefore low FODMAP when it is split into the suggested 5 portions.
- Looking for more flavour? Try adding celery salt, paprika, capers, or diced pickles.
- TIP: potatoes absorb a lot of dressing - if you plan to serve this salad later, try reserving some of the dressing to add right before serving.
