LOW FODMAP DIET BALSAMIC AND BLUE SPINACH SALAD Recipe

Since blue cheese is a hard cheese, it’s fairly low in lactose. And that’s good news because it adds a huge punch of flavour to this spinach-based salad. So does the balsamic dressing—although it’s important to be mindful of the amount of balsamic vinegar you consume in one sitting since it has
moderate levels of FODMAPs. Top with grilled chicken breasts for a delightfully healthy lunch.
