Is this low FODMAP suitable?
You must divide this salad into the appropriate portions for it to be low FODMAP according to Monash University. ½ cup fennel, 10g celery 4 radishes are all low FODMAP per serve – so ensure that you divide this into three and don’t overeat this to avoid it becoming higher in FODMAPS.
Is this low histamine?
According to the SIGHI list, this salad should be lower in histamine, all scoring 0, but everyone is very different with what’s tolerated so confirm that these ingredients work for you and check with a doctor or dietitian if needed. Ensure you use distilled vinegar rather than apple cider vinegar though to keep it low histamine.
How To Make:
Finely slice the vegetables
Create a dressing by shaking all ingredients in a glass jam jar with a lid on.
Dress and enjoy!
Tips for making the best fennel, radish and celery salad:
Select a fennel bulb that has lots of fronds on it if you can! This will be added to flavour the dressing and add a beautiful anise flavour to compliment the more bitter celery and radish.
How To Store:
Best enjoyed immediately. Store the sliced vegetables undressed in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. You can mix up the dressing but don’t pour it on until you’re ready to serve.
