Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.
Dijon Mustard is low FODMAP in servings of 1 tablespoon or 23 grams.
Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.
Potatoes are a FODMAP-free food with or without the skin. Keeping the skin adds a little extra low FODMAP fiber.
Instructions
To make this easy potato salad, simply:
Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add red potatoes and cook until fork-tender; about 15 minutes. Drain, cool until able to handle, and cut into quarters.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together chives, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, vinegar, and sugar.
Step 3: Add dressing to potatoes. Stir until everything is mixed and coated with dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve slightly warm. Or, place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, and serve chilled.

I’ve been using your website for several months now to make low FODMAP foods for my sister and niece I have not yet left a comment, so thank you for all the great recipes. There are other low FODMAP recipe websites, but many of them rely on a lot of specialty ingredients, while you stick largely to ingredients that most people know about and can find in a typical grocery store. I’ve made at least a dozen of your recipes from all different categories and we’ve liked most of them very much. Today I made a triple batch of this potato salad so that I would have enough for our family dinner tomorrow as well as a friend’s potluck party tonight. The people at the party didn’t have any diet restrictions but they loved the salad and asked me what ingredients made it so delicious. I’m sure my low FODMAP family members will love it just as much. It has a nice balance of bright, bold flavors.

I’m new to the fodmaps foods, and made this to go with some smoked bbq. My husband, 4 year old son, and I loved it! It’s such a flavorful and light salad/side!! My 2 year old passed, but she’s a bit picky. I will definitely make this many more times and bring it along as a side for cookouts!
I made it as is except I used about 2 tsp of sugar. I never measure ingredients, but I did for this to be sure I made it right. You definitely need to like lemon and dill (which we do!)!

Thanks for posting this recipe, I made it this evening and served with steak burgers and salad and it was delicious. A great low FODMAP recipe to have in my back pocket, especially for the summer season to take to BBQs.
N.B. I didn’t have an garlic infused oil in the house, so used regular extra virgin olive oil, and it still worked great.

How can it be low FODMAP when it’s garlic infused? No garlic is allowed on a low FODMAP diet?
Em Schwartz, MS, RDN says
Hi Aiden, garlic-infused oil is an exception and is low in FODMAPs. It has been laboratory-tested and is frequently used in low FODMAP cooking. I invite you to check out my post on Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes for more information.

This is a really great recipe! I’ll definitely use it again. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that I really needed to add a little sugar to balance out that tartness from lemon and vinegar.

Hello again! I just wanted to let you know I made this and it was delicious! I made some adjustments, using homemade mayo and some hard boiled egg, but your recipe was a good base. My mom loved it too!
Emily says
Those sound like tasty modifications! Thanks for sharing, Amanda!
