Chicken Salad

I find lunches to be the hardest thing to put together when on a low-FODMAP diet. For me, I usually cook extra for dinner the night before so that I have left overs for the next day to take to work or uni. 

This is a simple lunch idea you can put together with either left over chicken from the night before, or by buying a pre-cooked chicken from the super market. 

Chicken Salad Recipe




Ingredients:

Chicken
Lettuce
Tomato
Red Capsicum 
Carrot
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Oregano

Steps:

1. Thinly slice the tomato, capsicum and carrot and break up the lettuce into small pieces.  Shred the chicken into small pieces.

2. To create the dressing, drizzle olive oil and add a pinch of salt, pepper and oregano to taste. 

Simple and easy.
