Low FODMAP Egg Salad

An easy way to use up hard-boiled eggs, this low FODMAP Egg Salad uses colorful and crunchy red bell pepper instead of the more traditional (but not FODMAP-friendly) onion.

Do you dye hard-boiled eggs this time of year? It was an activity my family did every year growing up. We would dye dozens of eggs and had a blast doing it! The one downside was we’d be stuck eating hard-boiled eggs for days on end.

I don’t mind eating a hard-boiled egg, plain with a little salt, but after eating them every day for an extended period of time, I’m thankful for deviled eggs and egg salad to help switch things up.

Typically, I’d make egg salad with minced onion, but being that onion is a no-no during the low FODMAP elimination phase, I like to substitute minced red bell pepper for a colorful, yet satisfying crunch.

Modifications

If I have olives or low FODMAP pickles on hand, I’ll chop up about two tablespoons and add them to my egg salad for a yummy twist.

Alternatively, I will sometimes add a dash of cayenne pepper to give it a good kick. Anyone else love all the spicy foods?!

Serving Suggestions:

Egg salad is typically served on bread or toast. If you’re looking for a good low FODMAP bread option, I really like Udi’s Delicious Soft White Sandwich Bread.

I love having a homemade low FODMAP crusty bread, but let’s be honest with a jam-packed schedule, like many of us have, that doesn’t happen very often. So, Udi’s bread is a great ready-made option that I can just pick up at my local grocery store.
