  1. Scrub and cut the potatoes into bite sized pieces (peel if necessary). Prepare the green beans by cutting into small pieces. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Place the lid on the saucepan and bring the water to a rolling boil over medium high heat. Then turn down the heat to medium low and allow to boil for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add the green beans to the saucepan, about 3 minutes before you drain the potatoes. Allow the green beans to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender and brightly coloured. Drain and place to one side to cool.
  2. While the potatoes cook, hard-boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a small saucepan of water and cover with cold water. Place the saucepan over medium high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Allow to boil for two minutes before turning the heat down to the lowest heat setting. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and run the eggs under cold water before peeling. Cut the eggs into quarters.
  3. While the eggs cook, prepare the cucumber and red bell peppers. Peel the cucumber and cut into short sticks. Deseed and dice the red bell peppers. Finely chop the green onions/scallions (green tips only) and chives.
  4. Make the salad dressing by mixing together the wholegrain mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice and a couple of grinds of black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl gently mix together the potatoes, green beans, hard-boiled eggs, cucumber, red bell peppers, green onions/scallions (green tips only), chives and salad dressing. Season with a couple of grinds of black pepper.
  6. Enjoy.

Buying Tips

Buy a bunch of spring onions/scallions with long green leaves. You can use the green leaves in your low FODMAP meals, just make sure you avoid using the white stem and lime green stems as these are high FODMAP. Once you've harvested the leaves pop the spring onion/scallion bulbs into a glass of water on the window sill. The leaves will reshoot so you can harvest them again.

Make your lemon juice and lemon zest from fresh lemon.

Check your mustard does not contain onion or garlic powder.

Choose a mayonnaise that does not include onion or garlic powder. We like using Best Foods Mayonnaise (Lite or regular). If you are a meal plan member you can also grab the recipe for our egg free mayonnaise here.

Gluten Free Tips

Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.

If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
